Smoke tank from CMJETS.com!
Preping smoke tank with tabs. Would work fine to sit on the bottom of the fuse but the skin is flexible so I would rather have the former work supporting the weight.
opened up the opening about 1/4" on 3 sides for tank to fit.
Custom Skycandy Lighting setup. Missing nose gear light in picture. Wait till you see these things.

Nose weight a non issue and needed to get batteries as far forward in tray as possible. Glued some spare carbon tubes on the underside of the nose.
Final Battery placement. Space at front of tray for stick on Lead weights.
Nose cone mounted. Decided to keep it simple and use 5 servo screws.

I’m not sure but I think that actually aviation design is working on a full scale diamond but this is just not confirmed news, this will be actually very attractive jet much nicer than viper and probably faster and with using smaller turbine with longer range maybe two tandem seats,

used plaster of paris to make plugs
Plugs complete
First pulls I was struggling with webbing.
My Genius Daughter came up with the solution which was to add risers or "Bucks" under the points!

glued the CC voltage regulator about 3" inside the opening and left the extension loose. Connector is easy to get at if ever needed.

lens installed with tape and paint line installed
Painted the glue area with color matched paint. Same paint installed on the servo coveres
Lens glued in place with E6000 glue. Very similar to Goop but a bit more runny.
Finished product. Was deciding if I should paint the white line but I will do that.
