Well this was a lot of fun. So far I have only the autopilot gear loaded. I'm going to test fly by doing some missions before I put in the video camera and transmitter. Here are a few pic's. I've painted almost all of the plane with standard primer and did the tips, nose cone and hatch Red for visibility. The underside of the tips are white. I feel the primer adds a little extra durability to the plane. It's just a tad bit harder to make finger impressions in the foam.

Nice, I am watching your progress on the main blog thread.
One part I'm eagerly awaiting is the external USB connector. That should really make it great. I won't have to move things around to connect up the Pixhawk..
Simon did mention we could remove a bunch of material to make room to mount items internally and still leave the strength of the plane in tact. I did have to lengthen the autopilot bay to get the pixhawk in with the servo cables.
