I just realized I never saw y'alls comments/questions about my fuel tank... Well truth be told I haven't got that far yet... Leaning towards making cardboard or foam 'plug' & fiber glassing over it; but just not sure yet... Hopefully, I'll have to start thinking more about it soon though, just dug out the wings & will get to start figuring out the whole final rigging - then the fuel tank... I know I still have a lot to do before hand; but still, hopefully won't be long.... I'll look at the Klegacell before I make any major decisions... Had thought about Aluminum, but after my fuse - nope not even going to attempt to tig aluminum... :)
