Nah, I'm just trying to supplement Pete's tips for having success with the Long EZ around here. I just wish I hadn't aborted "maiden flight #1" and put it in the dirt breaking the canard and bending up the landing gear, which by the way are very easy to bend/hammer back into shape and the canard is actually a built up structure. Looks like a solid piece of balsa, but it is built up and sheeted. And as far as recovering the repaired canard, the closest match to the Chinacote Yellow is that Hangar 9 "Ultracote?" that the local hobby shop only had in a roll of yellow/black small checkered squares. Different but appealing we think!

I'll cut and paste the Bobcat info to that thread.
