Default Modified Southern Belle

Howdy all!

I am home today playing hooky from work. Actually I need to be home while the power company relocates our electrical service, phone and cable. This is good since I am working on my new fuselage for my LLS wing. As ya probably read the LLS II was done in by my stupidity[:@]. I tried to fly it indoors and lets say them four walls are a lot closer together than they look. I am trying to duplicate an old plane called the Southern Belle. I pulled the plans out of my RCM illustrated plan index and had them sized at Kinkos' ($4) to generate a fuselage length of 16.5". I have cut out all the parts except the rudder. The fuse goes together much like a Guillows kit. I liked the look of the rounded fuselage and tailfeathers. The plane kind of resembles a cross between a Ryan Sta and a Astro Hog? Maybe I should call it something else? What do you think.
