Been cranking on the plane for a little over a week now and its about ready for maiden. This plane can easily be built in 2 weeks of doing a little in the evenings.

Used all power box wire because of its heat resistance. All custom made servo leads so I don't have connectors all over the place.

Used spektrum mini servos in tail and for nose steering.

Fuel tank is done using BVM Kevlar tank fittings kit. I don't take any chances with the fuel system. Because of the shape of the tank the clunk looks like it has a chance to suck onto the sides depending on orientation. So I cut an extra slot in the bottom of the clunk so it won't slow fuel flow down.

Also had my son trying to take old cockpit parts laying around and building himself a cockpit.
