I bought a can of key lime spray paint for the hull and a can of semigloss black for the motor mount and rudder. The wood isn't as nice as it looks, it has nice looking grain yes but as others have commented, the wood looks as though it were cut in sheets using a dull chainsaw. There are deep grooves all the way across all of the mahogany sheets and I can't sand them all out without ending up with sheets that are too thin. Hopefully 3 or 4 coats of spray paint will fill in most of what I couldn't get sanded out though.
Well I woke up just now this morning and it seems my brain is working today, whereas not as much yesterday. I realized I can flip that standard servo that I'd mentioned earlier was too tall on its side and it will fit perfectly. I don't know why I hadn't thought of that yesterday. So today I should be able to finish the air boat and get a few coats of paint on it. I will post more update pictures when i get more done.
