I got a little more done on the RedwingRC Extra tonight. I put the wheel pants on. I ended up having to elongate a pre-drilled hole on each pant. They just didn't line up. But after just a few seconds with the Dremel, fits like a glove.

Made some progress on the plane. Things are starting to come together. On the 78 inch Typhoon from Aerobeez.
Got the choke mechanism in and the throttle servo mounted right above above the choke.
Installed the tubes for tuning the motor without having to remove the cowl
The canister is in and mounted and in the correct position to hook up to the header.

Finally!! Got the engine back on the nose of the Aerobeez Extra. She's looking nearly airworthy now!!!

I just have a handful of things left to do, first of which is to get the throttle/choke servos mounted up. I have some 4-40 rod and carbon sleeve coming so I can make some pushrods long enough to get good geometry with the throttle servos (choke I'm not really concerned with). Then it's just mount the ignition, cut the cowl for the mufflers, baffle the engine, and last but also the scariest is repairing the wing tip.

I was delighted to see the inside of the wing has plenty of strength thanks to a pair of 1/4" carbon longerons, top and bottom. This thing should take plenty of abuse. All materials I need to finish this thing have been ordered up.
