Default RE: CMP Hellcat

Greetings,
Just completed first flight! What a dream flyer! The model flies 'on rails' with no discernable flaws. Take-off was solid, climb out solid and all rolls, loops, and split-S's efortless. Landing was straight forward with absolutely no hops.
All that said, it is tragically sad that the covering material is so weird and incompatible with U. S. paints. Thing should have been stripped from the start and recovered with either glass cloth og silkspan for a base.
Flight was with gear left down, but can see no problems at all with the CJ gear operating from our grass field.
Regards,
Jim
