Well, if a plane with a smoke system and a hatch to drop something constitutes a Swiss Army Knife, I guess that's what I'm making. =)

MinnFlyer, thanks for the advice! I'll leave off the gas tank panel; I hadn't realized that you could get it out through the body (looked like the bulk heads were too narrow on the plans). As for the servos in the tail, I didn't realize that was a 'cool mod'. Seems to me that that would reduce weight if anything, as it eliminates much of the push rods length. Am I wrong here? I could see it adding weight to the tail, but not to the overall weigth. I'm also going with your suggestion to lighten the tail, fuse and ribs.

Deadeye, thanks for the link. Your job looks great! I'd finished the tail section before I read the suggestions from MinnFlyer about reducing the weight there. Last night I cut out some triangles in the elev, stab, rud, and tail (triangles that match the triangle outlined by the stringers in the tail). I still don't think it'll save any noticeable amount of weight, and it's time consuming, but it looks cool! I'll post some pictures perhaps when I'm further along.
