Thanks for the nice comments BobH. Ill start sanding the wings today and my goal is to start painting by the end of this week. This plane didn't have a lot of detail because it was a wood airplane with metal parts added at different locations so the detail work on the wings will be easy.

Some News:
The paint job is finish, it still lacks some détails.
I have weight the plane, and first projections is 14.8 kg (33.3 lbs), with pilot, but without fuel. If i add the fuel + smoker fuel, the total weight is 16.5 kg (37.125 lbs) in flight.
The good new is that i must not add some lead in the nose, the balance is perfect with the Lipos.
Here some pictures, but this is the first assembly, it still lacks the gear door, and some détails as pitot tube, and radio antenna...
Be continued next week, stay on-line.
