I can meet you during the day. And as Sandy said, I think you should take me up on the Repair Joe's plane offer. I'm sure one rainy day and a case of beer and we'll make short work of it.

Fair enough.I will bring the cowl tomorrow and we can look at the rest of it when everyone has time. Al seems game to have a look as well. The wing needs surgery and the engine box is a jigsaw puzzle. I have another cowl on the way, if you think you can match the paint scheme. It is currently the wrong color. Tom at wild hare had a very trying year and does not have many parts on hand and NO planes at all. I will be looking at repairing what I can on the fuse during the week.

When I had to repair mine (damaged like yours), I went to NAPA and had them match the colors and mixed into spray cans. It was a little pricey. I spent about $60 fixing mine I think. I am glad to see you are going to rebuild and cudos to Mike & Al for offering to help you with it!!!

On second thought take the cowl into Cdn tire with you and you may just get lucky, somtimes the automotive touch up spray cans are the colors we need. Make sure you pick up a can of primer for whatever paint you decide to go with as well. I believe mine was lacquer.

I have the cowl in my hands and it is not bad. Can't wait to get the bondo out and have at it.

This might help. If the plane was covered in Ultracote, then here is the color guide for Ultracote. I also have it for Monocote. We should be able to get the spray bombs to match your colors. Keep in mind that Ultracote is a Hanger 9 product and Monocote , a Top Flite product.

Okay...I will have a look at it with the laptop next to the plane, but from what I can see here...and go from my poor memory. I would say midnite blue. The other blues do not look dark enough to me. Also it is Ultracote Orange 100%. He told me that much.

More like prepping a derby car for it's next entry Wink

Could be worse. Another few feet and I would have had to bond the crapper. Cheesy
