Tough to start and seriously out of trim, but looking good in the sky.

Great group of pics John. Can't notice how much you had the camera tilted to offset the trim problems. Super flying by Grant. [smiley=tekst-toppie.gif]

Well tell ya. Finishing up the scale fueling hatch on the fuse. All the control surfaces are covered, so have to cover the fuse - rear with coverite and front with glass. Usual sanding and filling and crap, then paint. Most of the tiddleyfart stuff is done. The things I worried about are done...so yes, 2024 looks pretty good.

Hold off on destroying the Stukas till then.... :shots [smiley=beer.gif] :Cheers
