Hi Rich,
Yeh, weekend looks like a bust eh?. Monday (our club's Fun Fly) it is suppose to clear up but maybe still a little windy.

I was also looking into mounting the smoke pump and pump battery where the lead box usually sits as I was hoping this weight would be good enough to get the CG correct. (btw, are you using an OS 1.20 pumper and also lead in the box for CG?... and if so, how much lead?)

(pic below shows where I was thinking of mounting the pump... battery would get mounted on top of firewall...just worried about vibration of engine though...?)
