Thanks for the info. That's a nice covering job there. Did you ever get to flying it? I still have yet to hear flight reports.

Mine is balanced close to 5.5 inches. The 2cell 2700mah li-ion ign. battery is up on the side of the engine box along with the electronic ignition and smartfly ign. I am using a DA50 with Slimline pitts. I added 1/2" worth of washers behind each standoff to get the engine forward. The total added weight of the spacers is probably two ounces. The receiver battery is velcroed underneath the aft part of the fuel tank tray (just ahead of the wingtube) and is a 4 cell 4800mah li-ion. I cut out a hole to mount my throttle servo on the bottom of the engine box. I am using a manual choke made from a ball link and carbon rod that extends to the front of the cowl. Everything else is in stock position.
