Don,

I wouldn't worry about the spinner. THE AIRPLANE SHOULDN'T BE ON IT'S NOSE!

Big kudos for the "prima Donna". I just got it! Sometimes Duane is too smart for his own good.

With the bubbless tanks I don't think tank location is as critical as it was before. The Jett CG tank should be perfect. It is flat and compact. You shouldn't have to notch anything.

I agree that the 5" rule has opened the door to different choices in airplane design. There are several out there.

I honestly, don't know how you do it. How much sleep do you get? It sounds like you don't need another project. Duane you have an abundance of time you do the Smoothie.
