Well, I got this baby completed! I still have to add pilots but here's the restored version. Changed the gear out with electric retracts with target struts and electric brakes. I also added nav lights. I originally noticed that the engine was upside down with the glow plug at the bottom but after re-reading the manual I repositioned it to right side up. That's a pain because I have to remove the engine to change out the glow plug if a problem develops. I changed out all of the plumbing with new lines as well as new felts and filters for all tanks. I have the C.G. at 85mm without filling the hopper tank. I think this is correct, any thoughts on this? I read that some people flew a little long and ended up using a good majority of the fuel in the UAT tank which is the reason I thought it would be a good idea to C.G. this without fueling that tank. Comments are welcome. I hope I'm not to heavy, I'm at 4450 grams without packs.
