Thanks, everyone.

I'm working out a means of painting some lettering on the wings. I'm thinking about cutting a mask from drafting paper, attaching it with adhesive spray and shooting a light coat of clear dope to seal it from bleeding. But, other than that I just wanted a really basic scheme. How did they paint the lettering back in the '60s and '70s? Masking off each letter with tape will take longer than the build did! I don't think vinyl letters will look right on top of dope.

I notice that the plane from the RCM article didn't have wing fillets. Anyone have those plans? I wonder what the original ones weighed. Mine has turned out to be one of the lighted airframes I've ever built for its size at just under 3 1/2lbs.
