Craig, Thanks for your advice. No matter what our experience level, we all have things to learn.

Mike, Being a scale builder, I understand your desire to keep things "clean", but I would advise you to also make things practical. Hard to reach on/off switches and fuelers make our models less desirable to take to the field.

On my Gee Bee, I mounted the RX switch/charge jack, on the bottom of the fuselage, behind the wing. It's not easily visible, but is accesable. My fuel port is located behind the cowl, mounted on the bottom of fuselage, making it nearly invisable, too. I painted both, to make them blend in, even more.

Just some ideas for you to think about.
