The results are DEFINITELY worth it. Up close, the paint job isn't great, lots of dust particles, etc. but from 3 feet away it is a thing of beauty.

8178, I ordered a mini-ball driver from my LHS (35 miles away, he mails stuff to me) Thanks for the tip.

Hopefully, tomorrow I will be able to shoot clear on the wing, then finish assembly next week. One thing of note, the elevators are quite large. I think they will not need much deflection for operation. Glad I got long control arms.
