Hi PortCityFlier,

Your Tely is looking good. But in my own opinion it's ashame that you are going to cover all that fine wood work with a solid color and not transparent Monokote. Been trying to upload pictures but the dang site keeps erring out on me.

A little advice as you complete the tail feathers...Add an additional 2" to your rudder so that it'll be effective enough to prevent the airframe from veering off the runway with the slightest of crosswinds. I learned the hard way and had to cut my rudder off and add the two additional inches of surface length. It made a world of difference for me and the rudder was controllable clear down to a stop. With the additional torque that the Saito will introduce to the airframe during takeoff, you'll need it.

Cheers,
