Bud
Yes, I did all that with the pics. It tells me its uploading, uploading complete, I hit ok and then no pics. Mystery.

I wound up using the same pipes as you describe, the brass was a bust. I am now working on putting some detail in the inside cabin. I made some floors, and I am using some vinyl material to line the insides of the cabin wall. I will make seats out of foam board and try to cover them with the same vinyl material.
Aside from balancing, the cub is complete and ready to fly, this effort is fill in till the weather gets better. I bought the spinner from Dave Brown with the discount coupon that came with the kit. I bought the "standard" 3 inch dia., its more curvy than the ultimate version.
