Krossk,
Looks great!! Straight lines are sooo much harder to do than the random curves I did. I suspect I'll be doing a lot more flames in the future.
I don't know about that - I cut all the silver striping with a straight edge and that was a piece of cake.
But the cruves in the corners were a real pain in the rear!

I'm really anxious to get this project finished - it seems like every kit takes longer than the last one. I'm already at 20 months and counting... The sadder part is that it's been since last October since I've had a plane in the air[&o][&o]

Went to the field today and got four more flights on her. Still flying great. A couple of rough landings that stopped the engine, but kept her shiny side up!

Decided that I'm going to try installing a smoke system. Ordered the TME SmartSmoker Simple Smoke Pump from Tower today. It'll be a month before I get it installed, but should prove interesting, IF I can get some decent smoke out of her.

That should be interesting - How do you think that will affect the flying weight and overall performance?
