Default RE: DeHavilland Mosquito

Looken good . Wondering what the plan for the holes are in the belly portion ?
Just starting with the revised nosecone. Gonna be lotsa work but should look good. Looks like I will be putting my batteries in the nose behind the new cone that will be a quick removal system with only one 4-40 bolt. I am also going with 3.25 inch spinners and moving them 1/4 inch foreward and do a tapered cowl from original 3.5 inch to a 3.25 inch. The spinners will be Tru Turn spacewalkers which are a bit shorter but have a similiar shape as the P51 spinners which are a bit on the long side. Spitfire spinners would be a closer profile but they don't make them . I have already moved the elevator and rudder servos forewrd about 4.5 inches which will change the weight from behind of the cof G to in front of the C of G. The way I look at it is the more I move from behind the Cof G to foreward ; the less lead deadweight I will have to add in the end or I guess I should say in front. ( gotta say that before I get corrected ). Will post picturs when I get a minute.
