Robert, thanks for the encouraging words.

Last night I 'painted' the drop tank mounts with epoxy after filling glue holes and re-sanding smooth. This will seal the balsa and plywood for painting. I may plumb the release cable tubing to the center of the wing but I am not all that enamored to install yet another micro servo just for tank jettison purposes. Trying to decide whether to screw mount them or just epoxy to the wing.

The damn thing has such high wing loading now that I am afraid it will NEVER fly. Already has a servo each for landing gear, flaps, ailerons and inner doors.
Can you say 'Hanger Queen'?
