Well, what with Turkey Day preparations and cooking, and a number of chores, I did not accomplish as much on the plane as I had hoped. I do have the engine fitted and the nose ring roughed in.

Looking at that huge area behind the firewall, I'm thinking about building a shelf for the fuel tank to get it up closer to the level of the carb and mounting it back, closer to the CG. That would leave room for separate throttle and nose gear servos right behind the firewall. I'll need to make sure I don't cleverly block access to the bolts that hold on the wings.

Bill: A question about the elevator connection. Did you inlet the bearing and wire into the TE of the stab, or into the LE of the elevator? I'm leaning toward inletting it into the TE of the stab.

Cheers,
Richard
