Default RE: Deception 10 Build Thread

I'm a little stuck on some technicalities which I haven't had the time to address so the build has stalled a bit.

However, I thought I'd post an off-color picture (my camera was acting up after my daughter - 3 - decided to take some snaps... - that was smart of me) of the assembled model with legs! Yes, the nose gear finally came in. BTW, nice little unit the Robart 124. I've also installed the fuse components of the radio but have no pictures of that yet.

I need to sort out a couple of things so that I can finish the assembly, do some fillets here and there and a little final sanding before commencing the finish.

Question: The plans show the canopy rear as lining up with the rear of the wing fillets. I've been debating though, whether it looks a little too far back in that position (as shown in this picture) and whether it might look better brought forward a tad. As a reminder, my fuse has a somewhat longer nose moment due to the fuse extension of 10 mm - maybe this is what makes the model appear a little nosey with the canopy in its plans position.

Any thoughts?

David.
