Default RE: Not another 4* 40...

I finally got the CG set last night. I ended up moving the battery behind the wing. It also took a 1/4 ounce of weight in the left wing to get the lateral balance correct. Now that that's done, I started sanding and covering. So far, just the wing and horizontal stabilzer are covered; the fueselage still has to wait for the epoxy coating in the engine compartment to cure. I'm keeping the scheme simple. The goal was to use whatever Ultracote I had on hand but I had to break down and buy some more dark red. The stripe on the right wing half is a little off but I doubt it will be too obvious once the plane is assembled.
