Definitely going to put some structure in the top of the front hatch area to accommodate the inner struts. I'll have to modify the center section of the upper wing too. No big deal.

I kinda figured I'd need to increase the size of the tail surfaces. I have been trying to think of a way to change the rear of the fuse so that I can use removable airfoiled stabs. I won't do it unless I can figure out how to mount a couple low profile servos in the stabs. I've always hated those planes that have removable stabs, but the servos are still in the fuse. You have to disconnect the linkages every time you want to take the stabs off. I think it's doable. I'll just have to find an airfoil. My friend thumbed a 25% Edge 540 recently and I know he still has the tail section. I might dissect the stabs and rudder to trace some of those ribs. But my brain is struggling with how to modify the fuse in the back to accept a wing tube. Gonna need to add some wood.

You mentioned making the fuse taller. I think the turtledeck will need to be raised to accommodate the removable stabs anyway. That might work out just fine. I need to draw it on paper.

I can't build anything stock. [sm=tongue_smile.gif] Just can't seam to sit down and build a kit per the plans. I just love to make small modifications here and there. This particular kit bash would be the most mods that I've ever done to one kit.
