Also, I installed the rudder. Not much to it but to run the supplied wire through the hinges and make a 90 degree bend. I'm putting the bend at the top and covering it with blenderm so I can remove my rudder. If you don't plan to remove the rudder you can put the bend at the bottom so it can't be seen.

Looking Good! The inside of that fuse looks really strong with the carbon and the bracing. Anything special done to the wings to keep up with the fuse?

What did you paint the motor box with? Is it really fuel proof?

Also, are you gonna run the stock mufflers on the 123? I ask because I have a 123 sitting here that needs a home, would be nice if the stock mufflers fit in the cowl :D

Everything is reinforced on the bird. If you have seen the Wenatchee huckfest vids, you will see us spanking all our birds hard. We will be at the Lodi Huckfest. And for those who want some stick time, look me up.

Hey 3daviator,
I used an automotive gray primer/sealer paint that i got from Ace hardware. I think it was just some rustoleum gray primer sealer. Then i used some texture paint and a clear top coat. It needs to cure for a few days before being exposed to any fuel but it'll be fuel proof and looks sweet!

I'll be using the stock mufflers on this one. Hopefully i can mount the engine this weekend, i'll make sure to take plenty of pictures.

Here is the video Azhar was talking about i think....they were beating it up all weekend. http://youtu.be/eM3yDxbOZdo?t=4m9s

Added a 3" stripe to one wing tip. I'm trying to decide if I should add one more to make it 2 per wing or just do one stripe.
