Dave, the underside is the stock scheme. Red and white checks. Only difference is the bottom of the fuse is red as well. Yes, the flames were hand cut. Tedious to say the least. If I pop this one in it won't be as easy as just buying new components. What have I got myself into? Never had retracts, marvelous little devices. Good luck with the bear, I'm sure it will sparkle as the rest of your fleet does. I need a fleet.

Brian, yes, same plane, same setup. Just new skin, and I hope this skin is thicker, if you know what I mean. Can't complain though, flew this one all season with at least 75 flights. As far as the 'Yak' goes, it is very appealing, yet I think my next project will be a gasser. Mmmmmmm, Wild Hare !!

High winds today, fun fly has been rescheduled for next week end and wouldn't you know it, I will be in New Jersey. I've managed to miss every function this season, including our own clubs outing. Maybe next year I'll have more social time. Later, Joe
