Default Just finished it

I have one ready to go in the air. Made the choice as a trainer for the club after having a student with one last season.

I have made the following changes to an already great plane:

1. Fiberglassed the center section of the wing for better strength. Added red stripe so it's easy to see the wing is centered.

2. Added traingular stock to the joint from the fuselage to the stab and from the stab to the fin (this is the weakest part of this plane).

3. Changed the main gear to DuBro composite with DuBro axles.

4. Changed the nose gear to the Fults double fork.

5. Will be adding fiberglass floats when the pond melts!

6. Added graphics to the bottom of the wing (all white can be hard to see sometimes).

7. I'm ready to fly if the weather breaks! Maybe over the weekend!
