Oh yeah, building tips:
1. make sure you check the fuel tank for leak. put water in it and blow into it to create pressure and check for leak. The fiberglass fuel tanks have tendency to leak. Both my odyssey and aspire fuel tanks leak bad. Easy fix though. I glue the fuel tanks into the fuse with the flexible silicone glue at the top corners Much stronger and can cut it out if needed. Don't strap it down. I don't believe the support foundation is strong enough to keep the tank down.
2. Make sure your nose weight is removable so you can adjusted the cg afterwards. I just took a leap of faith and follow the cg recommendation on the thread and glue to nose weight into the nose cone. Now, my plane is too nose heavy and I can't reduce the weight..
