Well I got the canopy about 75% done with sanding and Evercoat. It only weighs about .1oz heavier. That is with primer. The worst parts are right on top where the seam is, and all along the bottom there are lots of large holes. Not too bad (there was a crack in the side I fixed from an earlier flip over also). I also glued back up the chin cowl......its pretty beat up and I weighed it before so I can see if its gonna be worth using. It's gonna need a lot of sanding and filler, but so far no one has an extra chin cowl in stock..or is willing to sell me a used one(I'm still looking though)....and won't for a couple of months. It might be good enough to use as a spare.

I ordered some BVM pinhole filler (it was like $6 so I figured I'd give it a try on part of the fuse and see how it works).

I got my paint and monokote ordered for my design. I also ordered the new crankcase, header, and spinner.


Lastly my new fuse is having shipping problems. Seems UPS wants close to $100 to ship so I'm having to wait for my buddy to make it to Greyhound(could take him awhile). But a bit of good news......in the box where elevators and a rudder! There is some damage to the canopy and part of the horizontal (I've seen the damage and its fixable). I also think its a Fantasy fuse and parts so now I'll have an eclipse and a fantasy. I've also looked into ordering a Genesis set of wings and elevator........to see how that works out.

I may make this new plane an electric. Since I don't have a second motor anyway...

Pics will be posted tomorrow of my progress.
