Herb,



Looking GOOD!  No matter what the canines think...



Fully enclosed back section sure makes it look different.



How do you get to the gas tank to fill it?



Stuart

thanks Stuart...



Yeah.   Takes a squirrel or rabbit to enthuse the pups... or a slice of 

bologna..



  The panel is held in place by two  bolts which are welded to the 

bottom corners of the lower  longeron that defines the   access area... 

Kinda nifty...but the previous   builder  came up with that(the plane 

came to me as a quick build )... the bolts have drilled holes and I will 

get a couple of wing nuts to hold it in place along with a couple of 

latch pins...



   He also changed   the fuselage to hold a  larger gas tank...10 

gals...I will place a red line at the  5 gallon mark !   I will do an 

all up wt and bal with 10 gals just for grins....That would be something 

on the order of a 520 gross... 490 with 5 gals...



   By the way... I have heard that stits one part coatings cannot be wet 

sanded....not so.. I painted  part of one wing with the second coat of 

poly brush before I saw that it was going on like sand paper....  Using 

320 and 600 grit took good care of that area....need to be careful with 

320 grit on 1.8 oz fabric however.. Herb
