Mmmm...

I really ought to finish her up!

Ok, here's a running list of things that come to mind for a starters:
[ul][*] Glue exit guides[*] Glue all hinges[*] Attach elevator control horns[*] Attach rudder control horn[*] Install Pull-Pull linkage[*] Install aileron linkages[*] Install throttle linkage[*] Drill tank pressure tap on tuned pipe[*] Install and mount tuned pipe[*] Notch main gear struts for collars[*] Apply thread lock to all collars[*] Tint and install canopy and striping tape[*] Re-shrink covering with air gun (cold temps caused some wrinkles)[*] Apply decals[*] Balance longitudinally and laterally[*] Adjust all control throws[*] Charge and condition battery pack[*] Run a couple of tanks through engine and tune exhaust system
[*] Wait for winter thaw[*] Maiden the tidal wave[*] Fly her inverted across the runway, push and roll full stick straight up until I see a red flash - bank rudder, chop throttle and wait to pull until I hear whooooosh![*] Do a split-S, let her sail in and wait for the rubber screetch! Ahh...
