Default BME 44 in Stinger

AJF, nope. No afterthought. The rebuild was way too much work for me to consider it an afterthought This plane had over 300 flights on it and the entire front from mid-wing forward was badly oilsoaked because of how the Saito exhaust was directed. I replaced everything forward of that point with new wood. Replaced the ABS filler piece in the tailfeathers with builtup wood. I should be able to get all the vertical jollies I can handle with the CAP.

The Stinger will be a Sunday driver.

Here's the CAP. My color scheme looks a "little" bit different than the stock yellow Breitling scheme. It's my first large covering job. Metallic purple, white, flourescent lime green Ultracote.
