I built a Ziroli 92" P47 and used his glass fuse. It was my first experience with a glass fuse and I was very pleased with it. There are no panel details molded on the glass fuse but it seems very well made to me. I don't think there was much of a weight penalty because my plane came in at only 28#, which is pretty light for this plane, and the flight characteristics reflect this. I wish he had glass fuses for all his designs. I'm starting a Dauntless and am not looking forward to all the planking and sanding of the fuse.
