Guys,

Sorry for my absens on this thread caused by me starting a new job and moving to a new apartment. This forced my build to be on hold for awhile. However things are now coming to order and I am looking forward to soon resume my construction. My deadline is spring/summer this year.

Superworm,
For the reasons you meantioned, regarding front hatch attachment, I am leaning towards alternative A as well.

Have you made any progress on your build since last? Perhaps a picture or two?
I know your target with this build is scale and by the looks of it you are making great progress, eg. your elev hinge line is to die for, just mind the weight. If weight concious you will have a great looking AND flying plane.
