Your reasons for not running the engine is exactly what I thought. But I figured I would ask any way. Some times people have other good ideas I haven't thought of.
Yup, it's the early style. But my fin appears straight. And the stab will be when finished. I have the needed stuff to update the wing attachment. But I already reinforced the wing mounting in such a way I feel it should be sufficient. I may still remove the old silicone "glue" and fiberglass the fan/motor mount in. Good idea on fuel proofing it.

Thanks
