LOL....

Now you can't make a comment like that, (regarding a header tank) and not elaborate! You've just volunteered another post, :-)

I like the accents on the eppanage. Did you cut them out of trim sheet or are they mylar? I was thinking of something similar but for the right wing panel.

Still working on the fuselage tonight. Will post a few followup photos later.

Thanks for the pull-pull setup. I'm following your lead!

Cont:
1) header tank is a small (4 oz) tank near the engine (standard location), istead of a pic-up clunk you have a fixed brass tube to the CENTER of the tank. Then it's connected to the larger tank further away (pressurized). This helps to eliminate any bubbles in the system and also helps the "draw" of the fuel. All things not being perfect, sometimes you will need a (Perry)pump to make it work, but if the pressure from the muffler is good, you can get away with just that. All depends on the distance of the larger tank... you'll have to experiment. However, the header tank is a well proven system used in DF jets.

Do a search on hopper / header tank, you'll find info and diagrams.

2) the "dots" are cut from Monokote and applied using the Windex method (works wonders)... BTW I do have the "dots" on the wing also... will post a pic when I get around to it.

3) Magu ruder servo looking good [sm=thumbup.gif], just make sure to strengthen around the opening with lite ply
