Default RE: 2012 Hog Bipe rides again

Well......Anybody out there? Been fairly busy on the hog project.. Guess about 10 more hours or so to final assembly. Details and more details. Have got the split elevator geometry set up as well as i can figure out. This airplane is going to come out heavy. The twin, glow system, and the Worldtex will tell the tale on the grocer's scales. Saved a gram or two where i could, but it was as futile as ordering a diet coke with a triple cheeseburger and large fry.

Got the pvc today to build a homemade balance stand. Stuck all the parts and pieces together to get a feel for the cg. Looks like it is going to be nose heavy best i could tell by fingertips. I might be in for a battery placement headache. Good real estate is hard to come in my radio layout for an aft battery.

Where you guys on your builds? Beginning to wonder if anyone is reading this.....drop a line and let us know how you are progressing if you building or any other comments and advise are welcome for sure
