I have mine all framed and ready to cover, I made the top deck removable right to the firewall to get access to the fuel tank and Rx battery, I modified the tail control surfaces and fins to stick construction , instead of sheet balsa, built everyting aft of the wing as light as possible, I have a 46 Enya FS up front which sticks out further than the recomended 40 I have the Rx battery right up against the firewall, the servos as far ahead as possible and before covering it is still going to take at LEAST 6 oz of weight in the nose to get it anywhere near the recommended C/G, where did I go wrong ?? Does nayone else have this problem ?? Mike

When I built this model several years ago I used an OS 40 open rocker for power. Built the plane with the wood provided and did not modify anything. Ambroid and white glue plus some epoxy where needed. Didn't have any balance issues that I can remember. Flew great! Standard size servos. Fabric covered and painted.

Thanks, I used mostly white glus and little C/A I still do not undertand how you managed to access the fuel tank, there is nothing in the plans or manuual to tell you install it before you cover the nose in, Mike
