Yeah, I'm going to use the plate for the small servos. Manual choke and a tiny throttle servo. I can bulk it up later if I need too, It's not glued in yet. With my heavy hatch and plywood rail on the tail I may be tail heavy. The batteries might wind up in the motor box. Way too early to tell, once I start putting it together I'll set the batteries and receiver and see where they wind up. I think I should go ahead and put my rudder servo tray as far forward as possible.

I got one cheek pretty close, going to fit the wing to it from here pretty much, the other just has a rough cut hole for now. I'm going to take a break. Been working on it pretty much all morning.

And a question, Did you say 2 1/2" standoffs?

Oh and here is a pick of my dash and my tubes, It's green painters tape and the tubes fit great with it on there. I may try the tape and see if it holds up in flight. The dash is a picture on dull sticky paper with clear fingernail polish on the guages so they look like they have glass lenses . It looks pretty darn good.
