December 5th ======================
I got about 2 hours in the shop this afternoon.
I trimmed the air pump manifold and rounded off the two top corners to fit the cylinder curve.
I cut a new aluminum tray for the rudder, rear planes and ballast servos.
I made it longer so I could mount the Rx, speed controller and ballast tank air pump switch.
I cut the three servo holes in tot he plate and files them until they fit.
Drilled the screw holds and slowly taped them for the screws. (broke 4 or 5 screws doing this)
The new plate will be 1/4" closer tot he motor case giving me 1/4" more room.
The servos are mounted for the time being.
I am done for now. (my hands hurt from tapping those screws in to the plate)
Next I need to figure out where the ballast tank switch will go and how to mount it before I can do the Rx and speed controller.
