american - well done with the remodelling, but the rear cockpit is rather too far forward - the novice would be sitting on the instructor's lap... It is nonetheless an excellent proof-of-concept!
Also, an issue for when it (hopefully) comes to finalising a new slot model - the plane requires an external fuel tank: In the G12, the internal tank was entirely deleted and replaced with the instructor cockpit. The tank could not simply be moved further back as it would have upset the aircraft centre of gravity, so an external tank was permanently attached.
EDIT: looking at a few sites there seem to be images of some G12s without the external tank, so maybe some were made with a reduced-size internal tank, and others used an external one?
