Thanks for all of the encouragement. I would get this baby finished much faster if I didn't have that silly thing called 'work' slowing me down. I have gotten to the point where I go to sleep thinking about building and wake up thinking about building. I worked on it till late last night and unfortunately worked ten minutes longer than I should have. I was trying to completely eliminate the ridge between colors and sanded through the @#*&%$# paint, oh well, it can be fixed, it just means I have to tape and shoot touch up paint, then sand again. I swear it feels like there are three passes with at piece of worn out 600 grit between perfect and sanding through.

I am being extremely careful with weight as I have been the whole time. If I had it to do over again I know exactly where I would make changes. The next one will be much lighter. It appears I will be close to the weight limit but not over. I did some things with wood that I needed spot putty to make right and that crap weighs a ton. I am probably 3 to 4 ounces above where I should be.

Mike,
Every time I look inside my plane I hate that I didn't mask off the canopy opening to keep overspray from getting in there. My plan is to clean it up as well as possible on the wood and lightly sand the carbon fiber then shoot it with clear coat. By the time the plane is done it will be beautiful inside and out.

At some point we have to get a Black Magic group picture. It would be awesome to have 30+ Black Magics polished and lined up all pretty. Now there is a cover photo!!!
