Oops... too late... I stayed up late last night and I am 80% done building a 3-sided tunnel for the pipe....

I'll post some pictures tonight, but based on the amount of material removed from the airframe and the amount of balsa added for the tunnel, I will add on 20 grams of weight!!!

Not bad... that leaves me with 40 grams left of wood I can add for the tank and electronics mounts to stay at the 27.8lb finished weight!!

Cheers
