Default RE: CMP Hellcat

I've got a long ways to go, I have my retracts are installed and the wing epoxied together and am currently working on getting the horizontal stab on so I can figure out where to put my air tank. The Siearra air tank is pretty long and having the cockpit kit, it will have to go behind the wing saddle in the fuse.

Nobody commented my post about the incompatibility of epoxy and polyester resin (which my source says the fuse fiberglassing is done with), You apparently don't get a long lasting bond using epoxy to polyester. I'm totally in the dark on this but if true would have a big impact on the mounting of the horizontal stab. I would hate to have to go buy the polyester resin and hardener when I only need a half ounce of resin. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
