I think I need to go back to work and stay away from this one, but I just can't do it.

The tank location is just fine. Especially if you slide it bach far enough to stop against the receiver tray. The wing incidence won't make a hill of beans difference at 3/4 degree.

My thoughts are that if you want the perfect "pattern" plane, prepare to spend a few thousand dollars for just the airframe and then go fly pattern. If you want to fly IMAC, then be prepared to actually have to be personally involved in he flying and set up of the plane.

As far as the plane being "definately flyable", you're darn right it is. You just have to be good enough to recognise it and have the ability to do it.

Harsh perhaps, but fault can always be found anywhere you look hard enough.
