Thanks

I started it just about a year ago - right after last year's Toledo show. I ended up building it at a friend's house an hour away, so work was limited to weekends. I had some major issues with the stock white paint pulling off the fiberglass which really killed a lot of my motivation. It took a long time but I think it came out well. I did end up repainting all the white - which while unfortunate, gives me a little more confidence in the durability of the finish I guess. It came out pretty light despite the extra paint, and a few strategically placed reinforcements.

I'm actually even more excited to sheet up the foam wing cores I have That probably won't happen for a while but we'll see...

I am hoping to fly it this weekend. I have a few finishing touches to do, set throws, etc.
