Alex, thanks for the complements, but are you sure you want to be the first one? I don't even know if it will fly yet. OK, it will fly fine as I didn't reinvent the wheel, very standard pattern moments, etc. It is almost a copy of my Excellence, but much narrower, a bit taller, and I moved side area forward a bit as you can see in the canopy.

Never weighed the plug, but it is very heavy, maybe 20 lbs. Would make an excellent cat beater.

Finished my new "larger" post cure oven last night. It is 2' by 2' by 8'. Indirect infra-red forced air, 1000 watts. Not sure exactly what it will hit, but as Justin will verify is easily obtains and can hold 170F and will ramp up from 60F to the 170F real quick, like about 5 minutes, so I have power to spare. My guess is it could reach low 200's. But not sure if I want it much hotter than 170F anyway as it is literally 2 feet away from 50 gallons of 30% nitro.

Finished my mold test strips, verified on the samples I'm getting clean releases and polished finish. Hope that carries to the real molds. Will be starting on the molds this week. I should be producing parts in June. I want to have mine airborne by late summer if possible. You'll have to stop by and check it out if you come back for the fun fly.

Later...
