I like it. Its nice to go your own direction instead of being a follower. Mine I got from a buddie who come up with the idea of wraping ths cockpit with mahogany. he had some old brittle thin stuff so I not only wrapped the cockpit. I come up with the idea of having him cut a piece on the bandsaw to put a thin wrap around the top. I think it will look good when its cleared with satin or maybe gloss. I also made my own pins for the wing wires out of brass screws. heated the tops and peened them down then drilled holes.I added blocks and tapped them for the screws/pins I think instead of wire the black stuff I might use heavy maxima fishing line its brown
You have a pic of that?
The instructions mentioned something about the cockpit coping but I didn't receive it. I still need to address that. Stained mahogany around the cockpit would be sweet!
