Joe,
Got the Belly pan squared away (nothing a little tap on with a hammer couldnt fix)! Yea it was just a hair tight so I managed to move a little wood more like rounded a couple spots! As for the fueler it is just about 3/16 below the carb due to the large motor mount being in the beast! I looped the carb inlet line up twoard the roof of the canopy with the fuel filter installed and then connected it to the carb. I finished all the servo install and am going to put the linkages together tonight. Not too sure if I am going to go with the carbon fiber on the rudder and elevator set up? Might just go with the stock. I used some carbon fiber rods with JB weld and some 440 all thread (approx 2" long) 1" out of the rod= 1" glued in it! Cut a small brass ring 1/8 long (tube) that slides on the outside of the carbon fiber tube, used CA to stick it there to prevent spliting! Hope that it works well and doesnt add weight!

After I finish the linkages and get the canopy installed I will run the motor (on the plane this time) and ensure there are no problems with flooding and my set up before I ballance everything out for good! I am running a 15X6 APC and using an OS F plug and using 15% Omega (20% Syn/Castor) so I hope all goes well! Again if there is anything else you can think of I need to do before I maiden PLEASE let me know! I appreciate all your advise and assisteance Father Joe! Yes I was reading some old threads and know you are a man of the cloth! HA HA !

That one about the electric fly and the plane caught in the ceiling at a dome up north.... then the pole landing on it killed me! I figured I was the only one with luck like that! I busted out laughing out loud in the office!
Thanks again Joe!
