RE: Venus II
Thanks. At 3:00am last night it seemed like a bigger deal than it was...5 minute fix and it's fine. Got the stab done, everything hinged up, tank installed, servos installed, and gear built. Tomorrow will get engine, pump, and push rods done, gear put on. I painted the canopy Aluminum Gloss. I've painted a few canopies already this year and have not yet been satisfied - I used Lowe's brand paint for plastic, Krylon for plastic, but this time used Tamiya Plastic model paint...what a difference! As with everything else, you get what you pay for. One very light coat so far and it looks perfect already.
Hoping to be flight ready by the end of tomorrow, Monday the latest (not including cutting the cowl). I think this is a record time for me!!! 3 full days.
