1 month and ten days. It's done. I still have to pull the engine back off to break it in. I like to do that on a bench rather than on the plane. I also have some red/white checkerbaord that I can put on it. I bought it with the intention of covering up seams in case they didn't come out well. Everthing turned out pretty well - at least for a first kit. I don't need to hide anything, so I have to find a place to put them. I photoshopped one idea (the last pic) and I'm going to try to photoshop checkerboards the way the ARF is. If it turns out well, I'll post that too. As soon as the weather cooperates, I'll post the flight results. Thanks to everyone for their help.
