I drew the fuse exactly as they are shown on the plans. I did notice the engine mount interference issue. I was planning one sheet sides and triangular stock at the corners. This was a first pass at the drawings, as such the only difference, at this point, between the standard Deception and this drawing is the incorporation of the built up wing and stab. I want to go over the fuse and see if I can come up with any other areas that could lighten things up. I was thinking of doing the vertical stab in 1/4" sheet with lightening holes and then sheet that with 1/8" on either side. Maybe some light weight contest balsa for the top and bottom fuse sheeting. Just a few ideas I am kicking around at this point.

If anyone else has any ideas, please tell me. I am open to anything that will make this bird fly better. I do kind of like the idea of anhedral in the stab, I always thought that looked great on these ballistic birds.
