I'm going to use a metal coating process. The tip tanks were done as a test and they are acceptable. I want my airplane to have an extremely high polish look like these birds did. The last pic shows my tip tanks.
I was aware about the cg. The tip tank looks fantastic. How much weight you believe this process will add?
