Looking great! I read up on the 104" sneek peak thread. Is the 110" version still going to come in close to the 27-28lb target weight? Also - is the length from rudder to cowl really 101"!!!!!! My trailer is 102" from the front wall to the door. How hard is it to pull the rudder.
Hey Martin, Yes I am pretty sure it will be 100+ inches w/ spinner. I am shooting for under 27 lbs. Removable Rudder is an awesome Idea.

Okay guys, a little more progress. Got all of the mounting trays done in the fuse, except for batteries. I will make those after the first CG check. First wanted to show you guys what I have done on my last three GS ships. I like to soft mount the power box, so I came with the "FH Soft Mount" foam rubber sandwiched between two 1/8" lite ply. Works great and so far no failures.
