Next step:

I am not the biggest fan of coke-bottles in jets. I used them several years with great success, they are damn cheap, but: the use up a lot of space inside the fuselage. They spread the fuel on a large surface. We have cut the middle former, after we made a template of it (you never know). The fuel-cells will be held in place by honey-comb-plates. They lock under the wing-tube at the rear and two bolts at the front-end hold them in place. The fuel-cells are laminated over positives. They will be glued onto the h/c-plates. The tanks hold 2.2 litres each, makes a total of 4.4 litres. The trhee coke-bottles hold 4.5 litres. And there is still lots of room for a header and one or two smoketanks. They will be made the same way as the fuel-cells. Not as stylish as the Jettech kevlar ones, but cheap. And it feels good that you have made something unike
