She's finished! Photos to follow as soon as the camera is charged. Final weight, 5 pounds 1 oz. That will change, since the CG is about 3/4" too far back. I thought about flying her that way, full tank and all, but when I did the calc's the CG is at 43% of the wing, and should be at 35%. That's too much to screw around with. Off to the hardware store for some sheet lead under the tank. I figure 4 ounces will do the trick (damn!) Still, anything under 5 1/2 pounds is OK for almost 600 square inches. Should fly fine.


Yes, the battery is already under the tank.
