SM Viperjets experts!

Guys I am about to start working on the fuse as I already finished all moving surfaces.

To my surprise the main large Kevlar tank doesn't fit at the bottom of the fuselage..... at the time I try to push the tank back to be under the intake bypass…. doesn’t fit….. it hits the intake.... it needs shim about 3 mm to able to fit. I am about to cut the tank in half at the seam…. remove the 3 mm and re glue the 2 pieces…. I know I can do a good job but what a pain.

Question? have any of you guys had that same problem…. or I am the only un lucky?

I am also considering moving that main tank on top of the bypass…… but I am concerned with having so much weight on top….. due to fuel.

By the way I measured the capacity of both Kevlar tanks and they are huge…. Bottom=92 onz and Upper 56onz…. total of 148 onz!

Any recommendations would be quite appreciated,
