Allright, quick update. It's all built now. Here's a pic of the finished cowl and the modified vertical/rudder (before a LOT of filling and sanding).

So all I have to do now is a couple weeks of sanding and filling. Yay me. I hate this part. But this is where you make or break the plane. And since I'm going to be waiting a minimum of 3 weeks for the paint and servos, it gives me NO excuse to cut any corners. I'm not really planning a complicated paint job, but colorful. Sort of like my old ones, but with some new twists.

So, this is the last update from me until I begin glassing, at which time I'll do a step-by-step through the painting for all you who want to try a painted wood fuse.

Make some dust fellas!
