That's the plan

Well under way now. Here's a few of the progress. Yellow was put on early yesterday. Then last night we managed to get it taped so the blue could go on. The last two colours will go on today and the clear coat. It's quite a process and I'm learning a lot. Todd truly is a master at this stuff. Bow to the Master

Put most of it together to have a look, Couldn't stop myself. Smiley

These may be the last ones until I get it outside. Now that it an ARF it should be ready to fly in two to three weeks. If all goes well and the rest of the stuff arrives in a timely fashion. Monster size project and I'm a little burned out. Hopefully I'll get a good season without too much trouble.

A BIG THANK-YOU TO TODD FOR PUTTING HIS OWN WORK ASIDE TO HELP ME. I AM IN YOU DET BIG TIME BUD!

Then I'll check the balance one last time and run the engine. At this point it should be ready to go out to the field for a test flight. A few pic of the rigging..
