<span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS">got the stabs and feathers done yesterday. (i hate working!!!)damn camera died, so i will get photos up this afternoon. i'm so tempted to go buy the covering so i can do them and see how it looks transparent. i got all of the fuse done now as well. with the exception of the filler wood on the forward of the fuse under the nose. trying to decide what size tank to use. i could cram a 12 oz in if i wanted to; should make good times with the .40 motor. i'm thinking of putting the servos and such up behind the firewall, and the tank over the wing for the concerns with the c.g. balance as the tank empties. what do you guys think? some posts i've read say the plane comes out tail heavy to begin with. maybe that would alleviate the need for the added weights on the nose??? how would the farther distance from the motor effect the operation of the motor? problems pressurizing the tank? do longerfuel lines cause more issues?</span>
