OK,
Just for you rgreen24, I crawled into my Hanger G (G for Garage), an' snapped a picture the tank.

You can't see much but the ply plate is positioned almost on top of the wing tube to a cross-bar on the former that is more forward. Foam is 3M-77 glued to bottom of tank. The tank is held in place with Velcro cable-straps.

Uses the same plate for the throttle servo.

With a DA50, a Slimline muffler and a 4000 mAh li-ion and JR digitals all round the final weight was 17lb 1 oz.


All I need now is some spring weather....
