Default RE: Vectorflight Edge 540 build

Good example to others of the size of this plane. The couch and coffee table are a standard 6 to 7 foot long.
Yes,,, I set the wheel pants on in one pic to see how it would look when I put 'em on.

By the way..... did the rest of you balance your 540s at 4-3/8 inches ? And did they fly good at that CG point ?

Plus,,, updated this morning,, Sat the 19th. The new way to install the belly pan VF posted looked good at first. But after doing the final checks before my maiden flight I can see that the small wooded peg holding the front on will not work. I had to add a screw to either side of the front corners of the pan. It would have blown off or fluttered horribly. I still think fuel will blow in the hull slightly but not enough to worry about. Plus I have all the radio gear stowed away well.
I also added a spare piece of left over cowl trim to close the gap between the LG and the cowl.
