OKay as promised here are the pictures. I'm at a stopping point now, waiting for my wing-kit to arrive, Wednesday or Thursday at the latest.
Thanks all for the good advice and comments, its really appreciated!!!
Now its time to start thinking about a covering scheme. I saw an American Flag waving in the breeze look that I really liked. Is that going to be a bit too much for a beginner? Should I look to do something simpler?
I'm assuming your talking about TERMAGATOR's [link=http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/fb.asp?m=603331]thread[/link]; I haven't tried the flag scheme yet, but do plan to in the future. The time consuming part of doing trim pieces is cutting them all out exactly the way you want, or exactly the same for both wings. I think the beauty of the flag design is that it doesn't have to be exact or straight & you can cut it out easily with scissors. For example on the wing below it seemed like it took forever because I had to get all of the trim pieces exactly the same on each side.
The funny part is a lot of covering jobs I see at the field are nothing more than one color over the whole plane & a couple stripes on the bottom for orientation. I tend to go a little overboard.
