MORE PICS !!!!!!!!

As you can see, I've removed the stock canopy and rear top of the fuse. Removed the end wing tanks...I just sanded them into the same contour of the wing. I did not shorten the wing
Installed CF tubes wing tip to tip. CF tube on the inside floor/bay area nose to tail. Installed balsa elevons 1 1/4".... Hitec 65 mg servos. No balsa on the trailing edge. Used hinge pins, 3 per elevon. Outrunner is on a stick mount. Then sits on a 1/4 balsa block laminated both sides with 1/32 ply-I had to groove the bottom of the block to get it to sit correctly...wire ties down thru and around the CF tube. Motor shaft is equal with the trailing edge as that's the center of thrust.
All covers screw down into small balsa blocks. Simple.
Flys rock solid. High wind doesn't phase it. I have flown this one at the beach in 20 plus mph wind.

I did widen the bay area for future batteries. Oh the canopy..front part made from a 2 litter soda bottle..rear part is made from curtain rod package material nice and flat plastic... I spray painted the insides of both canopys.
