Mark L. I'm glad to hear you're getting close to finishing! I must admit I'm eagerly awaiting the reports of your first flights, particularly with regard to the angle of incidence of the horizontal stabiliser. I imagine the final setting will be in the area of -1°, but I will await your reports with great anticipation! I think I'll get my tanks done out of aluminium, even though the use of fibreglass tanks is widepread and certainly reliable, I like the extra insurance of having metal holding all that flammable liquid in. Just a side note, are you concerned at all about your wing skins fluttering at higher speeds? I know the extra stiffness of the carbon fibre would help a lot, but the large unsupported area may still exhibit sufficient flexibility to flutter.
