The battery in my plane will sit right at the back, accessible through the flap on the underside. This will help with the weight distribution since I have the heavy 912 engine. I copied Terry's design for the battery tray, and had to fit it twice since I forgot that the rivets would protrude through the tray and get in the way of the fuselage (hence all the 'ventilation' holes...).

The fuel system includes a drain cock, which is situated under the header tank. I screwed the top fitting into the body, then trapped the fuselage between the body and the drain tap itself (with a couple of washers). The red colour is a fuel-proof jointing compound.

The finished drain system. It fits to the lowest outlet in the header tank, and connects to the drain cock.

Spraying continues. I have finished most of the silver UV spraying and am preparing for the top coat. Now I have to cover the second half of the fuselage. Next page
