FF,
i have revamped the plane since those pics have been taken. i have gotten a slim and long tank with the foam under the tank.
as for the props i used an "end-mill" with a pilot to counter sink the face of the prop hub.. im sure now that wasnt a good idea.. allthough i never had a prop explode in flight prob cuz it hasnt been able to unload fully.. yes i did fuel proof the engine mount with clear "dope".. also as to the visual of the plane in the air i have added bight orange flames on the top side.. HELPS ALLOT!!! you are right about the header i might have to look into the macs header like i saw that u have on yours in the video..

thanks so much for your help...
I kneel to the DD king in hopes of being knighted "some day" LOL
