Default Godfrey almost done!!

I only have a couple of items left on my new Godfrey. Paint the cowl, and balance. I will have to add a bit of weight to the tail to get it to balance. When I first got this plane, it didn't seem too much larger than my 30% Dietrich. Now that it is covered and almost complete, I can see the truth. It is quit a bit larger. I test ran the engine today and love it. I will have to do a little tuning when I get some time, but it has tons of power! I ended cutting 1" off of the mufflers. This was my first time ever setting up dual servos on one surface, and with the EQ6 it was amazingly simple. I can't wait to get her in the air. Let me know what you think.

Here is what I have in it.

DL100
Vess 27B
Carbon Fiber spinner
EQ6 (LOVE IT!!!)
Smart-Fly optical ignition cutoff
2 x 3000mAh Flight Power for receiver
2100mAh Thunder Power for ignition
8711 on rudder
5955's on elevator
5625 on throttle
DS120M x 4 on ailerons
