Default RE: U-CAN-DO 60

I decided to put my tank in the traditional place, just forward of the wing. I can always move it latter, I couldn't find a tank at the local shop to fit under the wing. I bought a remote glow system thats pretty slick, it mounts a female stereo Jack to the fuse side, then you have an adapter that connects a male stereo jack to a glow starter, since it requires hardly any force to plug into the mounted jack, there is no need to wrestle with a back plate inside the fuse, it fit perfectly below the tank. I decided to mount the fueler on the firewall in the cowl, I have done this before and know how to make the mount with 3/32 ply. I have had these fueler points leak before, and if it happens, its better outside the fuse, even though I fuel prof-fed the entire compartment.

I also came up with a pretty slick way of mounting the cowl. I'm sure someone else probably has done it this way but I haven't read about it. I posted it in this thread: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_14...32/key_/tm.htm

All I have to do is adjust the control surfaces, mount the batery and radio with velcro, and break in the engine, and she is ready to go. probably get it in the air this week end.
