Hey Black Drape

I went ahead and ordered it. I can use flat clear to dull the gloss, that was on the must do list anyway. Glossy just doesn't look right on a warbird. As for it looking scale I use the 50/50 rule. From 50 feet away at 50 mph it resembles a Zero. I'd rather have a nice flying model than one that you have to struggle to keep it flying. The retracts will be replaced with e-flite electrics, no linkage just plug and play. Can I ask what engine you used? I'm thinking of a DLE 20 for power, that should add a little weight to the nose(if the structure can handle it). I'll have to see how it would fit in the cowl. I do have a Saito 120 FS if the DLE doesn't fit, but I don't like the muffler hanging out of the cowl, have to see what I can come up with.
