Dogfighter all done!
Here she is. I ended up using an 8oz tank. Didn't leave much room, thats for sure. I had to run the throttle pushrod on the outside. Not sure how long the flights will be on an OS .25?

Well, send it to me and I'll let you know. Or you could fly it yourself, but I don't see the fun in that.
Looks good guy, needs some stickers, but looks good.

RE: Dogfighter all done!
I would suggest some contrasting color and design, like white stripes front to rear near the wing tips,
or roundels of white or red, white, and blue. I have a Sickle that is made out of green camo 2mil with red ailerons,
and it was kind of hard to tell up or down against the trees in the background.
Great looking Dogfighter!
Looking forward to the flight report!

On a cloudy day dark colors turn gray.
Bin their with My BigMcDDD get too far away and couldn't tell if it was up or down or coming or going so I got into a flatspin and let it go down about 200 yards away.....long walk, broken prop [:@]
I'd definitely get some bright colors to contrast it, like DL said.
You can see why My BigMcDD was so hard to see from the pic. Dark red with black trim.
So now I keep in in close. Crash and learn.

Already taken care of. Now it looks like a big Mexican flag. 
Those white stripes saved my but today with my FNS .15, thats for sure.

Part throttle you will get close to 25 minutes on eight ounces of fuel. With a magnum 25 in mine i get 12 minutes on a four ounce tank. if i'm running full throttle about eight minutes. I would start out with a 9x4 master airscrew prop for the test flights with the 25fp.
