Either one should be nice power and it sound like the muffler should be of adequate volume George.

I have been working on the struts. Well I guess I have been working on them forever and a day.

This morning I thought I would try to cover the one that was ready for some skin. I use the aluminum tape that Bro John sent sent me.

The shine and color are just awesome, will make the struts pop out at you. Windy liked that, but then questioned the wrinkles bumps, edges. "Ken is that is how it is going to look or are you going to get it smoother"? "It is not up to your usual standards"! ......... OUCH Smiley

Well I had seen that myself, and had worked the tape, and smoothed with my finger nail, and dowels, etc. It was as good as I good get it after a rather fair amount of time and effort.

DANG IT! NUTS, CRAP, oh well strip it.

Hobby King sells Covering Film Solid Silver (5mtr) 115 for 8.25
I think I just have to wait until I order the covering film from them. I am going with small blue and white checks on the bottom sides of wings and stab. Not yet decided on the top side and fuse, but likely solids.

So I got the aluminum tape off and was shock at the wight deference. Even with only 2 out of 3 legs covered the wight gain was real obvious.

John once again thanks for the tape, I really appreciated that, but I think I have to stick to normal materials.
