<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">I am pretty much done and she is ready to fly. I will do more detailing as I wait to do the maiden but she is done.</div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">My ready to fly weight is 10lb-14oz. not sure why she is so heavy. But it is what it is. I know my retract gear is heavier, and I am using a 6v battery for receiver, pulse my canopy weighed in at around 5 oz so I guess it all ads up. But at 10lb -14oz it is still lighter then my P-47 and it flies great and lands great at 12lb.</div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">So here it is.

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">My fan mounted. I used 1/64 ply to attach it to the rear tube, taped it in place. </div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt">Here is my pilot and removable cockpit, it is a little heavy at 5oz but it works and looks good, still tweaking it. </div></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"></div><div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt"></div>
