Scott, I did recover the fuse with Ultracoat white. I think this is the same stuff as Oracover. I am now painting it with Rustoleum Camo Khaki for the top and sides and some inexpensive gray for the bottom. After that dries I will add decals and nose art, it will then be weathered and finished with Lustercoat Flat Clear or some other flat clear.

Tom, the Saito 150 is not recommended for this plane. They say a 91 will give it plenty of power. I am just experimenting. I cannot recommend this large an engine until I fly the plane and see what falls off. I could get flutter or worse. I did beef and epoxy the firewall. I am not sure any gas engine would be small enough for this plane. Also the cowl was not cut up to bad and the engine seems to fit snugly into it.
