Thanks Jamie, It should be a good one when it gets going.

I made several runs on the CG spreadsheet today. It looks like the best option is to move the air tanks to the fuse rear section just behind the turbine and under the thrust tube. The ECU battery will move to the left wing root abeam the turbine. The flight batteries will be in the right wing root abeam the turbine or possibly in the front fuse wing strakes abeam the air trap tank depending on the final CG checks.

The power board with receiver, Cortex and Sbus decoders will move from the nose to just under the pilot seat. This will help tame the rats nest that was in front of the cockpit tub and make it easier to get to the electronics for service. All this will require major changes in the front fuse section so I stripped it clean for a complete redo. Hopefully will get it sorted out in a week.
