Staale, you need someone in the office saves on the nose weight I also tinted the canopy.

Did you build a tray into the nose section or mount something off the front bulkhead ?

Rob.
Yes. I will probably add some interior to the "office" as you call it at a later time. Wish someone made nice cockpit kit for it...

I built a tray for the batteries that is screwed to front and rear nosegear bulkhead. The tray reaches a little bit forward so the batteries lay just where the nose cone meets the fuselage. I did it that way so I could benefit from the shorter fuse when the nosecone is removed (long b@stard). Should I need to, the tray comes out in 1 minute by loosening 4 screws.

The lead is in the nosecone on a tray I glued to the floor. The airbottles is in the nose too with FESTO quick connectors.

What scheme did you pic on your new Lightning? Still going with the M-160?
