wow.........what a POS!

In my case, the plane is ready to fly. Total time 24 hours.
All up dry weight....8 lbs even.
No additional weight was needed to ballance. The battery was moved forward just forward of the rec tray to acheive a perfect wheels up ballance point..
I placed it off to the left some, and that elliminated the need for lateral ballance weights.
The only mods I made was the engine mounting, a cooling exit, battery location, and drilled 4 holes, 2 forward, two aft in the belly pan, and ran med. C.A. around the pan to wing joint. That putty aint gonna hold the pan for long.
I dont know what else to tell yall other than I had no problems to speak of, and the plane looks great!
I'll be flying it as soon as I get a chance.
good luck to all!
