Here's the canopy mod. I also blacked it out from the inside with Krylon Fusion black spray paint. The outside of the canopy was trimmed with Ultracote red paint and clear coated.

Since the canopy was blacked out, I decided to cut out lightening holes int the canopy hatch framework.

The tank was moved to CG, mounted under the wing tube and can be removed through the hatch if needed.

The choke was finished by adding an aluminum servo arm on the choke armature, then a pushrod was extended back into the canopy hatch area.

Here is a shot also of the carbon tailwheel, with the tailwheel/rudder linkage. I added a wood block inside the rudder at the bottom to run the bolt through the rudder for the tailwheel springs.
