Tank lines readied.
Over flow just above hole in cowl.
With a nut used to secure the overflow, a separate piece of ply needed to secure it to the fuse.
My 'tools of the trade' for fuel lines.
Some velcro to secure the tank.
Yesterday, I got my spinner extension from Dave Brown.
Used the supplied CG checker.
I usually balance with gear up but 'close enough'.
Put remaining parts on plane to check CG.
Surprised it was 'spot on' as the Brits say.
This should also confirm that, indeed, the engine standoffs are another 1/ 1/4" longer than indicated in the instructions.
Painted the doors with camouflage paint and will add supplied covering, later.
The supplied screws are a little too long to secure the doors so some fuel tubing used.
Can't bottom out the screws as they hit the oleo which secures the collars.
I think they 'over thought' the gun placement.
I epoxied some block balsa in the gaps.
A planer and sand paper made quick work of matching the balsa block to the LE.
The ABS plastic guns are hollow so the balsa block makes they more stable.
Some button head screws to secure them to the wing.
Radiators also secured using button head screws.
Hope to do the maiden, tonight.
Rebound the receiver and charging the batteries.
Maiden will be done without cowl. Cowl is light enough not to affect the CG with it off.
Just discovered that one needs to first down load the pictures and then comments can then be inserted between pictures.
