I've put the last undercoat on and am waiting a couple of days for it to shrink back and then I will sand it and put on the top coat. I'm starting to set up the splitter plates while I wait. The ali bar in the fuselage has been great for working on it.
The intake on top of the nose is the most beneficial, especially for a YS. Need cool air over the crankcase.
