Default RE: My new build

I finally got the paint needed to finish the Swoose build and took the time off of the build to get it finished. That is all painted and back together. Just need a Tee fitting for the fuel system and need to get the epoxy resin to make up the cowls. As soon as I get back from the holiday I will start putting the Satyr together. Most of the building part is finished but I need to start attaching the stabs and set the fuse up for the battery pack and controls. Stick gluing is almost finished as far as I can see.
This weekend is flying with the 5 year old grandson, he has been flying for almost 2 1/2 years now and I'm taking the boys to the planes of fame museum. The oldest boy has his own plane and his dad has plowed him a runway in the back of the property. He can take off and land on his own now, always has been able to stunt. I will buddy box him with my plane though. Sometimes he scares me!
Next week I will get back to the build. I always try to finish a plane before I move on to the next build but I ran out of money for the paint. Klass Kote, the high priced spread. I can glass up the cowl while I'm waiting for the epoxy to set up on the build.
