Thanks for all the data. I'm afraid to admit how long this plane has been in the building. Balsa USA gave very little data for placment of engine, tank , or radio gear, so I've made beaucoup mistakes, plus my building table and moving place to place wreaked havoc on time available. Then Hangar9 discontinued the deep red of the fuselage and I have to strip/recover. Whew! I don't want to remove elevators or rudder to recover. 'hope I can leave a little covering between the control surfaces and the stabs for attachment of the new red covering. Sorry for venting!

P.S. how is my choice of the Saito 125 4cyc.? Thoughts?
