I reprinted the centerline tank with just one outer layer (Vase Mode) in Simplify 3D and now it is just 2.8 ozs. Yes it is not as rigid as my original print but it still seems plenty stiff enough for the application. I reinforced the flat mounting surface by gluing some 1/8" lite ply inside it and will probably install two of the mounting rails to hold it on. Adding some primer to it now. Getting a 3D printer has been one of the best investments I could have made. It has opened up a whole new world of detail potential. I need to work on my designing skills.

Here's a hanger I designed to use with my sparrow prints since I didn't incorporate the MotionRC Hanger cleats, simple, but seems effective, the hole is designed to accept a common hex drive collared servo screw, but many could be used. This also lets you spread the anchor points out as far as you'd like, and use as many as necessary for larger prints
