Added in a new issue:

Cosmetic Issues:

1. Drill small holes in the canopy. Flying in sunny areas can heat up inside the canopy. This will cause the paint skin to bubble and deform. Create some means to allow the hot air to escape. I noticed it on my plane after 45 flights.

2. Fill the area infront of the battery bay and behind the firewall with Great Stuff spray foam from the hardware store. This will beef up this area and help keep it from getting creases over time from the landings. Creases can show up from normal landings not just crashes.

Funny I can't edit the main topic anymore. Oh well
