In regards to my HET Flying Wing.., tried dremmelling away the excess fibreglass inside the firewall, as the motor would not sit right. Been sitting on this problem for months!
No good, even dremmelled a small hole in the bottom
So I rang up Modelflight, spoke to a real nice bloke who said "I'm not the first to have this problem"....
Was told (as the pod on it's own is not available) to basically cut off firewall and make one myself, make a hole in the fibreglasss and patch it up with plywood but.... I get some credit on my next purchase 
don't know how much, but I'm happy.
Conclusion..., stay away from HET models. Their manufacturing standards are up their bottom (just saving Kieran from the profanity filter
)
I should have bought the Multiplex Xeno, as for months I was keen on that, then saw this and thought, 'no(!), this flying wing is much better, balsa and fibreglass not foam'.
