Default RE: F6F Hellcat scale tips

I just completed Hellcat II. Hellcat I met an untimely demise when a wing seperated in flight. Here are pictures of the new H9 Hellcat. It has a 20cc RCGF gas engine, Century Jet retracts, 2000 mha 6 volt receiver battery and 2300 mha NiMAH 6 volt ignition battery. Came out a little heavy with the gasser, the CJs and the large capacity batteries. But I test flew her yesterday and she flys fine even though she weights 11lbs 8oz. Just started detailing. First thing I added was the small wheel well doors at the top of the struts. Use regular control hing and used JB Weld to glue a bracket onto the none rotating part of the retracts to attach the activation rod. Works fine. I'll add the number 13 later. Also this time beefed up the spar where wood was removed to install the air retracts and also reinforced the horizonal stablizer.
