where is your fuel fill line?
I don't have one. The tank only has two ports, like Jim said.

one thing I noticed about my 46AX loads of power but it came out of the box with a #3 plug, it is the hot one, after a few flights it burnt out and I switched it for a #8 seems to run a bit smoother with the cooler plug the 8s are a little more expensive also.
That's a good tip. I bought 8 of the new OS A3 plugs to go into it. Maybe I'll just put them in to start with.

Tonight is putting in two new hinges on the elevator. There's plenty of room for them. After that, it's down to putting in the radio equipment, and I'm ready for my appointment with my trainer on Sunday.

I also bought some foam rubber and a prop balancer. The props I got are WAY out of balance.

I need to stuff some foam rubber in behind the fuel tank to hold it in there. It's not loose, but it's loose enough where the vibration will most likely pull it out, which would be bad.

The hobby shop also didn't have kind of rubber engine mounts. I was thinking of putting in some foam rubber strips or something like that in between the metal mounting plates.
