Hay RBean,
Nice work. My F6F fire wall ended up being reinforced after my first runup...and it looks like you now did the same. I also made up some fiberglass...mixed in a lot of milled fiberglass and then with the model upside down...let it set up and dry. When I hit the tall grass on lading...the model fire wall was the only thing really still intact. I was very impressed with the integrity of the repair and how the firewall held up. My fuse was so fractured it was unrepairable.

I may be talking to Tomas myself...and pick up another F6F...for a future build. I loved how mine flew...very impressive in flight and had a solid feel in the air.

Good work...

Soft Landings Always,
Bobby of Maui
