Thanks guys, I really do appreciate the kind words. I do worry a little about the glare of sunlight when turning in flight. The clear coat is an automotive clear made by Nason, extremely good product. I went with the Nason because the Stits clear was not vinyl friendly and I wanted all the logos sealed.

I don't build anything I don't intend to fly. As long as it don't go in nose first it'll be ok, hate the idea of losing the engine more than the plane.

Thank's Vincent.
All the clear has been done. I will stay out of the room today so I'm not tempted to do anything to soon.

I think that is the hardest part!

I had an old boss years ago at a home improvement company I managed who would drive the painter crazy. He would come in the shop and couldn't resist touching a door to see if it was dry. But he couldn't just touch an edge, nope he would leave a big palm print in the center of a custom painted door!

After he gets it together he needs to take it down town and watch it sparkle like a large fine diamond which is about what he paid to build it.

Fine job Robert, real fine.

Final is going, but, rather slowly. The tail feathers are on, wire's are straight, nut's and clevises have been thread locked. It took nearly two hours to get the wire's strait and locked, could have used a third hand for those. I have also completed the bottom wing linkage and servo covers with the screws wood glued. After a short break I will do the top wing controls.

That is for sure Steve. I think Anthony may have been right in the time frame is going to be more of a "it will be done when it's done", not thinking of what next week is. I am currently priming and sanding the windscreen frame, will take several times before it is ready for paint. After the windscreen, which will be a while, has been finished and mounted I will start mounting the wings.

Oh, um, I decided to do the windscreen as it is under the rear edge of the top wing before putting the wing's on.
