Default RE: BlueJay Models Dirty Birdy

After looking at all the DB's here on RCU I thought I'd post a pic of the DB Version I'm building. I say version because I've added a small belly pan to the wing to fair it to the fuse better and I've whipped out my own canopy made of Fiberglass. I'm going to be putting in a Rossi 61 rear exhaust, so I want to run the pipe thru the canopy. I know , I know I won't have much canopy left in the end but I just had to try. Oh yeah, taildragger with retracts. (Yes I've read the thread about nosing over after I made the decision to make it a taildragger. I'm hoping that my superior flying skills and the fact that the Lord protects fools will let me get away with it;-)

Now the pic is of the rough sanded plane and the canopy just sitting on top of the fuse. When I get it finished in a year or two I'll send a pic of it finished. (I hate covering!)
