Default Almost finished with my GP Extra 300

Here it is... about 75% done. Just firewall/landing gear holes, fuel tank and final sanding. this is about 3 months of work a few hours a day. Don't mind the flowers and pink, it's my sister's room

Notes:
GP Extra 300 .46 size
Moved rudder servo to the back for strength, planning to put a saito 91 in it so CG won't be too hard to adjust
Also added 1/2 inch to the rudder, was going to modify elevators but the manual said that the stock ones are plenty
Had to shape the turtle neck myself by sanding which takes alot of time, but really rewarding in the end
Plane weighs about 3 pounds without engine, but with all radio equipment in.
Accidently glued hinges for ailerons before covering so that's going to be fun huh
Rear horizontal stab is off, one side higher than the other by 1/16 of an inch... I'm pretty bothered by it, but epoxy is pretty strong


I was going to cover with patty wagstaff's scheme but this is one of those planes that's capable of so many paint schemes... If you have a nice extra please post it so i can get some ideas

Thanks for checkin it out
