Thanks Sandy:

I appreciate the tip about not ironing down the covering on the ribs. This makes sense for shrinking, later.

Over-the Edge: Congratulations on your flight. Be sure and give a flight report on the next outing.

I am getting ready to trial fit the hinges on all control surfaces. Final sanding and then cover them. I finally found a gas
tank I like. A sullivan 10 zo. I bought a 12 oz., but it just didn't leave enough room up-front for fuel lines, etc. I am doing a 3-line tank
because I want a fuel filler.

What size tank are you guys using? What kind of flight time do you think I'll get running a OS .60 FX?

Keep the flight reports coming. Thanks for the tips. You all have made this a relatively easy build for an old man with
little experience.
