Ok,,, I'm finished. (Sort of.) I ordered a new cowling so I can swap back and forth between the Saito100 and the .91FX. They both fit perfect without changing the motor mount.
Anyway,,, you already know what stuff I've been working on to reduce weight in the fuse. The area right behind the firewall between the front and the LG got a nice big hole cut out in it. That made a big differance. Used the old rudder rod tube for the antenna wire.
In some of the pics below the 6volt battery pack wrapped in foam is setting along the belly structure but that will change after I CG it I'm sure. Also was playing around with some blue pin stripe tape tonight. Just to get an idea how it looks. Don't like it. Maybe black,, but not the blue.
