The first one flew so well I decided to build the replacement the same way with smoke, larger tank, carbon reinforcement to joining area and a couple of extra mounting blocks. I have been told the stock kit fly great but as this kit needs a little nose weight anyway and the front section is holds so many components, I decided to reinforce it anyway. I also added the additional longer lenses for the tip tanks that was advertised on this thread and replaced the tip tank light with super bright versions from booma rc. I will add some pics later. Apparently the ones I took at too large to upload here.
thanks,

Hi Agrav8ed,
The reinforcement is a good idea, its always a very good sign for a jet when someone buys a replacement and doesn't move on to something else
I also like the idea of the center bottom bolt to hold the nose section, how did you find the upgraded tank over the plastic ones?
