Just a comment on the use of aluminium tape on the leading edges, I tried it on other aircraft as it looks very cool, BUT, any dings or dents it gets are permanent and after a bit it will look like crap. I found some silver self stick vinyl and it works like a charm.
It also is forgiving of getting banged and bruised and will conform to shapes better than the tape.

Pictures of the First Flight of my AL37 made into a Kc-135.
Video below:
Flight went perfect, the new Double Bogie Struts did exceedingly well for custom made.

I agree you are making all of us Incredibly impressed I have had 5 guys call me and ask me if I had seen your C-135. I use to work out by Ellsworth AFB here in SD. Also watched them refuel the B-52 years ago north of Alzada Montana, years ago while i was still working for Cat. still working on mine

Originally posted by xviper View PostOK, the wing tips have 2 lights in each housing. The inner ones are solid (one side is green, the other is red). The outer ones are white and they blink. It is this light on each side that the dangling connector is for. If you don't plug them in, you will think that ALL the lights work. Plug it in on each side and you will see. That ones on the wing root are white and they only come on when the gear goes down.

The wing has Landing lights, Anti-k lights and Marking lights (Red-Green). The one you speak of is the one in between the engine and the fuselage.
Just so we're all talking about the same thing:

You guys are making my year with all these refinishes, conversions, and customizations!
LowandSlow I like your sharp masking work on the underside fuselage's silver. It contours well around the mid-section, which isn't easy to do.
Dkurtzid We have similar tastes!
borntoolate Seemingly seamless transitions between paint and decals on your full coverage bird, Bob. Exceptional, as always!Live Q&A every Tuesday and Friday at 9pm EST on my Twitch Livestream

The extra weight of the 2 additional engines and the main retracts obviously had no effect on the flight characteristics so I am going to start flying mine with twin 5200 batteries.
