Default RE: GP .60 Reactor Bibe

I just finished the covering repairs and replumbled the fuel tank. The fuel tubing appears to have stretched (Icouldn't have cut them too long) and the clunk was sticking on the aft end of the tank. So, Ishortened them a bit and reinstalled. The appear to be fine now. Also, the vent tube turned during installation and was allowing fuel to run out before the tank was full. So, I thought Ihad a full tank but, didn't and I my feed line clunk wasn't sitting in the fuel so it couldn't pull it out. Don't know why Ihave so much trouble with fuel tanks but, it seems that every other one I plumb goes wrong. 50/50 is not a very good average.
I think she's OKnow though and ready to fly again.
Ithink it will be a while before Istart messing around with anything but, low rates on this bird. Ithink I'll increase the throw on the ailerons a couple of points as Iwould like a snappier roll rate but, everything else is working just fine.
