I've invested about 4.5 hours into the project, much of which I've spent planning the set-up, inspecting the parts, etc. So far, I have finished the main wing panels and I've started on the fuselage. I've installed the main gear and nose gear. I have also installed one of the fuel tanks with the other ready to set in place tomorrow when I continue.

I heard from a fellow RCU member who cut out the rudders about 2" into the vertical fins. His design looked very natural, as if it were how the manufacturer had sent the plane. I may go with a similar approach, or, perhaps easier, would be to just attach the rudders to the trailing edge of the vertical fins since they are not tapered. I've attached pics of the tail boom and fin.

I have decided, after carefully pondering mufflers, sounds, expense, etc., and I've ordered a Magnum .70 4-stroke as the second engine and I'm sending back the two GMS engines for a refund, (I never put any fuel in them or mounted them onto the plane). I thought about saving $10 and getting a second O.S. FL-70, but it really does lack in power compared to other engines. I know I won't be able to get them in sync, but since it's a push-pull config., it really shouldn't matter if they're off.

I'll do some more work tomorrow, hopefully, and post after I do.

If you have any comments, suggestions, or anything else, please feel free to post!!
