Default RE: CAP or Extra?

Yeah, it's rough, but someone has to do it?!I did epoxy the firewall in and added 3/8 tri-stock to the backside, along with the tank floor and the 1D former, pretty stout and stiff. I'm trying to tell myself through the build to keep it light, otherwise, I'll end up with a tank, that'll fly like one as well. So the heavy reinforcements are for a reason, but the rest of the plane is good. From now on, it's pretty much by the book. The changes to design and material are over.Here's some pic's, in # 3 it looks like the firewall is crooked, it is, the firewall is angled to the fuse, causing the tapered firewall,I did a double take and realized that it was going to look that way no matter what. So don't be parinoid that you screwed up, it's suppose to be like that believe it or not.
