Swager,

While you're still in the early stages, here's some mods I made that may help you out:

-- Access panel in the rear bottom fuse for battery (balance)
-- Wire supports from cowl cheek to landing gear
-- Pushrod tube along bottom of fuse for Rx antenna
-- Sullivan tail wheel (nice!)
-- Run Rx antenna thru servo bay with rubber servo grommets (or a length of fuel tubing); keeps the rx off the servos/wires.
-- I also run two batteries with separate charger jacks/switches. Plug one into the regular battery plug and the second in an empty channel. They don't have to be matching mah, just voltage. THis not only gives you extra flying time without switching out batteries, but you can also mix them up for balancing options. Better to to balance with something useful instead of useless lead!

You can also fit a 10-11 oz tank in the front if you move the bottom tank support; also a good time to thing about an access panel for the tank.

Have fun.
