Status: offline 		Hey Guys, I'm still here. Been sick for the last couple weeks. A week sick and a week to get over it. (dang)

Anyways I've got my flap mods done. Just need a little more tweaking and then back to the gear doors. I should be ready for glassing very soon.

Also,I need the colors for the Tri-scheme please. I've lost my color notes.

I'm going to try the Warbird Colors paint on this one. Has anyone else used this paint?

Thanks,
Kelly

That exhaust ring looks awesome!
Do you have any performance figures with that setup?

I believe the colors are NON-SPECULAR SEA BLUE FS35042, INTERMEDIATE BLUE FS35164, and a FLAT WHITE. Not sure of an FS #for that but it's just white.

I think it's FS37925 someone correct me if i'm wrong.

I have started the fold and have completed the right wing and just about finished the left. I will be using OSAs Wingman to control the fold but for now I am testing it with my radio. The bell crank on the locking pin will be used to open and close the hinge flap on the main spar. So far everything works smoothly and seems very strong. Hopefully will have the completed fold done this weekend.
I am using following Pappy883s wing fold method and hope to use Mort Rosenthal as inspiration for the hinge flaps.

Here are some pics.

The Warbirds paint is a great way to go. I have found that if you follow Chucks directions and test the amount of thinning (I used water) before you shoot it on your bird it will come out great. Light coates, the first ones hardly noticable and let each coat flash off before the next. Hope this helps mate.

Regards.

Bill.
