Time to think about the fuel tank, sig doesn't mention the size, I have a 6, 8, and 10oz tank her the six has the front feed, which I like for service the 8 fits but would have to plum the fuel lines Tongue

the 10 looks too big to fit without modifying the bulkheads to get it in... 8 seems awful small for screeming round the circuit for 10 min Shocked

any thoughts guys Roll Eyes

Wow Jack; you are really moving your project along at a great pace. Looking at the pics does indeed bring back memories of my build so many years ago. As Sandy said, my model came in heavy, but that was mostly because I chose to paint it with epoxy...and because all of my planes come in heavy Roll Eyes

You are doing a great job; keep the pictures coming.
