Got a few more punches in on the Senior. I sheeted the fuse sides and bottom and worked on the tank area. I've got a 16oz fuel tank installed and worked a little bit more on the tail area.

The first shot shows the firewall. Keen eyes will note that there's not any holes drilled in it for the motor mounts. I'll be addressing that a little further down the road. All the spruce formers are installed and everything sanded for a good fit.

The next shot shows the fuse with one side covered. Since I'm making this a tail-dragger, we moved G3 forward so that the wheels will reside somewhere between it and the next upright in the fuse. more on that later.

The 16oz Du-Bro fuel tank fits well in the factory-cut peices that cover the front of the fuse.

Here is a quick shot of the tail section pinned in place. I think it will look great once it's covered. I'm already trying to imagine this bird covered.

QUESTION: I have a .91 Magnum going on the front of this plane. It will be a tail dragger and I don't want it to nose over either. This is where I've thought the wheels should go. What is the general opinion? I don't want to go any further back but I'm wondering if I should move them forward a little. I'm open for opinion on this point. Let's hear from you aerodynamicists (sp.) but please, use words that I don't have to look up before I can understand you.

I think she'll look great with some wheel pants and possibly some struts!!!!
