Default I hope this will fly

I had an Ugly Stik that I wrecked last year. The only thing that was left of it was the landing gear the tail section and half of the wing. I rebuilt the other half of the wing and recovered it. My first covering job so it isn't too nice. I have a MDS .40 with an Evolution muffler on it. The original Ugly Stik had a Veco .19 on it. I used a plastic baseball bat for the fuse. I had to reinforce it with balsa so it would support the rubberbands (not pictured) that will hold the wing on. I took the fuel tank out of my old Sig Kougar to use in this. I used the pushrods from my wrecked Alpha (death spiral) and the wrecked Ugly Stick (dumb thumbed). The CG seems to be ok, it is about 1 1/2 inches from the leading edge. So I am going to head out in the morning to see if she will fly.
