Default RE: U-Can-Do 3d 46?

Here's an update on the build so far........ I was able to route the throttle linkage, set the fuel tank, beef up the landing gear block, and install the cowl since I had taken off the "ramp" in the forward fuse. Thanks to Kokamo's advice about omitting the blocks for the cowl it saved quite a bit of time and almost 1/2 oz. of weight. I positioned the screws more toward the aft edge of the cowl and you can see from the second picture there is corner braces aft of the firewall that the screws go into so the blocks really aren't needed. Thanks again Kokamo. Genius idea.[8D] Be carefull to drill the cowl screws in that area if you have the fuel tank in there.....[X(]
With all that done the "ramp" was ready to be re-install and the monokote was put back on. [8D] The build is going faster this time since this is my second UCD build.........
I added the forth picture since either Barry Craizer or Raideron mentioned that a loop in the fuel line could prevent the fuel tank from leaking/siphoning. I think that they way it was mentioned. Correct me if I'm wrong............
