Default RE: Nothin' Extra Build?

Here are some photos that I took of what I decided to do with the project. I am keeping the turtledeck. I added a flat hatch over fuel tank. Sig recommends against this because the glued down hatch adds stability to the structure. So I added two crossbraces for strength and to give me a good place to mount blind nuts and 4/40 nylon screws. Since I made the hatch flat instead of rounded, I also made the canopy flat and reduced the amount of pieces and weight considerably. New canopy setup is half the weight of first kit 2.5oz vs. 4.7.
