Alas, they work! I did take the needles out and the retracts work great! They aren't beating up the wing either! I won't go for the scale look cause like I mentioned above... I only see them AND I like the look
Almost there now!
I made a ply tray for the batts and slid them forward so they're half way across the front former of the hatch cover and my CG was right-on and I mean right-on!
That was without the rx batt up front and minus the pilot, canopy and hatch! I mounted the air tank right under the cockpit floor (no cockpit kit). I figure the rx batt and esc will probably make her a tad nose heavy but that's how I like to maiden!
Gettin excited here!
