Finishing up the Covering
More fun with wax paper templates...



And we're done with the covering, woohoo!..



Wheels
Installed my fancy new Sullivan tail wheel. I have to say I like the design especially the way it indexes the rudder using a spring rod. That's brilliant...



That seems to be working nicely...



The 5" main gear is installed also. She's a roller now...



Engine Cowl
Ready for paint...



Primer...



Paint...



After all the trouble I went through trying to match the color of my tail feathers to the green Ultracote, turns out Hunter Green Rust-Oleum is a near perfect match...



My original design called for these fun shark teeth...



However after seeing her without the shark teeth I think we're going to leave it be. She looks slick as is...
