Im at about day 7 off and on. The plane is finished minus a few odds and ends. Yesterday everything was set to begin placement of the batteries and electronics. The landing gear was finished with 5'' tires. The wheel pants are nice and mount very easy; however the decorative flange pieces at the top of the gear and at the wheel pant are tricky. I used goop to adhere the top decorative flange due to the possibility of having to enter the bottom removeable belly tray.

I cg'ed the plane at this point before placing any moveable parts in the plane. The cg according to kangke is 4.05 back from leading edge. Before placing the wings on the plane I marked my cg point with masking tape. This is much easier to do one wing at a time on the table rather than turning the plane upside down. The plane was "level" so i pushed two batteries forward. As far as the electronics Im working with a 6 channel radio and a 7 channel receiver. The plane has 5 working ports on the receiver and the battery takes #6 so I only had one empty receiver port. I chose to use this empty port for a remote kill switch. Rxel makes a kill switch that is easy to use and has an inclusive LED light to mount which gives you instant feedback on the status. Hopefully I will start the engine tonight or tomorrow and see if any issues arise.

The cg last night was not for flight. It was only to determine an awareness of my battery placement. Prior to cg I placed/taped each part in its position. The prop, nuts, and spinner were hanging off and a lil tape can help hold items temporarily. Remember each part has "weight" so a build cg should include all possible parts to give you a good understanding of build cg.
