Just thought Id check in with some progress pictures.

I believe I am approximatley a week away from covering. (I hope!!!) I am trying to do a rough assembly to get my balance as close as possible before covering, since I am running a light 1.60 os glow engine.

My balance seems to be good right now. I had to at least give it a check to see if it was anywhere close. Obviously there are alot of items missing, heavy ones at that. But I think they should work in my favor. Right now it sits nose heavy..... slightly.

The cowl is quite heavy, as I have glassed the inside, and the prop and spinner are missing. The struts are pretty much a neutral item. Wing servos and ailerons will probably offset the cowl a little.

Things to go in the tail yet are the flying wires (will be 2-56 rods), elevator linkage and pull pull linkage. I believe considering all the items to be installed yet, it will be nose heavy.

I wonder if its got something to do with the 15 AA's and the sub c I have in the nose. He he. Im happy......

Quick note on all the batteries...... (2) 5 cell packs for rx, (1) 5 cell for smoke pump, and a sub c for the onboard glow driver. Also 2 aa's and a 9 volt for lighting system.

Looks like everyone else is moving right along! Enjoy!
