Okie dokie,,, I used one and half sheets of 1/32 medium balsa. The stringers are 3/32 spruce. I'll be glassing and painting the tunnel tomorrow.
The battery floor was carved up as shown. An 8-10 oz tank doesn't need all that structure to stay put. Yes an 8 oz tank for this size engine flies the crate for about 13 minutes, almost long enough for 2 Masters schedules
The aluminum pipe is from Mintor. It's compact and light at less than 5 ozs. The ESComposites works also, but it's longer than the Mintor and the tunnel would have needed more surgery. Mintor pipe is about half the price of the ESC pipe so, IF YOUCAN FIND ONE, scarf it up. OR let me know because I want a few more of them
