Thanks, Jim. I've got some CF gear legs that I bought from Mike some time ago that I'll probably install on the Etude in the near future. I've also got a pair of CF pants I purchased from Precision Aerobatics for my Extra MX that I've never installed, which will look good on the Etude, too. I like the CF tube on the central line of the fuse bottom around the vent holes you installed, as that area is really thin/flimsy after cutting those holes. I just Hysol'd a popsicle stick in mine to stiffen it up. Worked fine.
Compared to other BJ models I've done, this Etude seems to be a lot thinner and lighter in the fuse area. Hope it holds up.
