Little more progress. I painted the G10 control horns. Mocked up a second fuel tank to go under the main. Gary at jet-tech is making it for me. It will be 6.25x4.5x3.25. This will give about 50oz more. I probably won't fly this plane off our bumpy grass field with the smoke and both fuel tanks full, but if I want to get in a longer flight, I'll leave smoke empty.

I think this is the first plane I have owned where I didn't have to build little brackets or shelves to mount components. This kit is designed really well. I covered the two mounting plates with fake carbon, the front tray will hold the smoke and turbine pumps, and I will wait to drill mounting holes until I check CG. I've got about 2" I can go to alter balance.
