Hi Pond Skipper,

I'll definitely look into doing the canopy from a plastic bottle.

My mustang will be powered with a Norvel .061 that I've had in my engine drawer for a few years. It's brand new and only my second Norvel engine ever. The first Norvel is mounted to my 1/2A SST, the plane flies very well on that engine from what I remember, I haven't flown that plane in a long time; I really should refurbish that little plane and fly it again.
The wing sheeting is glued down with 3M 77 spray adhesive. I would have used the water based contact cement from carl goldberg, but my supply of that stuff is long gone and I din't want to buy a new bottle for this little wing. I also ran a bead of foam safe, medium ca near the leading and trailing edges to make sure they wouldn't lift.

Regards,
Jaime
