Hi Jerry,
Nice to hear from you again. The software update is for the KS series, I think you may have the V1 Gas/air-start BMT80. There is an upgrade for the 80 as well. If you want I can mail you the latest but you may need a ISP programmer to get the code onto the CPU. The KS of course loads direct from your PC.

SAP2000, the wings have quite a bit of volume. 80% of each wing has a skin to skin fuel tank with 4 cells each devided into 4 again for a total of 32 cells. Because the wing has no spar or ribs the tank also helps the structure a bit as it is bonded to the inner skin of the nomex/carbon layer. 4 fuel pumps in total manage the fuel system via 2l header tanks, one for each engine.
The UAV is quite big with a 2.3m span and 1.2m chord and 9% laminar flow wing about 95mm thick at the root. About 2,5 msq of wing. Amazingly the fuel does not move the CG near as much as you would think.
Cheers
Andre
