after you put the gelcot with a little cotton powder on top so you do not have a glossy surface when you put glass fiber!!! you plane look very very nice!👌👌👌

I will have to start again and print new plugs and re-finish. I think I will not try to mold the lightening holes, but just mark the outline for later cutting out, plus make the molds in 3 pieces, not 2 so that I have a better chance of removing the plug.
I made the molds in the same batch as I did the rudder and flaps, so not sure what went so wrong. This was my first major molding failure so far, so I guess I can't complain too much.
