I've cut my wing tip skids and my tail skid. Don't have the hardware to mount the wing skids, so a trip to the store will be needed. I'm going to make a simple fixed mount for the tail skid. Seems like trying to make it spring loaded or flexing with a bungee is more trouble and weight than it's worth. I will however make the mount removable in case I find out that I am wrong on that last point. Should make the plane easier to cover and paint also.



Ok, I have wanted to add smoke to this plane since I started the build. Looks like there is lots of room in the fuse for a smoke pump and tank. The Sulivan smoke pump weighs only 4 oz. But you need an additional battery, smoke oil tank and a few other bits of hardware. What do you guys think?
