Default RE: GREAT PLANES ULTIMATE (kit)

I'm almost done with mine - that's an outstanding trimscheme BTW.

Using a Magnum .61 XLA-R for power - was an act of congress to make everything fit under the cowl, just to find that the Pitts muffler didn 't fit inside the cowl, requiring a nice big hole to be cut in the front mf my Stan's fibertech cowling I bought.

I said screw those ABS wheelpants, and bought a $12 pair of fiberglass pants for a U-Can-Do 46 and repainted them - if I had covered the plane in Red I wouldn't have even needed to repaint. $12 was well worth me not having to glue fill and sand the ABS pants.

I'd post a pic, but my webserver is down for repairs - maybe a little later on.
