I'm surprised by that! One would think..... Oh, well.

FYI, you can get a spray bomb mixed these days. Many auto paint stores do this. It's not too horrid in price. I would take a bit of covering and put it on some ply scrap so that they can get a really good computer color match based on how the color really looks when it's ironed down. It does change a bit someway or another depending on the covering.

I'm not positive about this, but I think they do this for about $15 a can. Sort of spendy, but not that bad considering all the work you put into the model.

And... I got my hinge pins in the tail. Moving to the wings. Tomorrow I should be able to epoxy the pins into the control surfaces. I ordered a SmartFly Comp 12. I'm going to need 11 channels as I don't really like to mix stuff. It wasn't that much more than the Sport, which has 8 channels and following the KISS rule, this means I only will have the one device instead of mixes and such or instead of having to program digital servos. I do feel like this might be just a bit overkill for a model this size, but I do love the power regulation, the three battery packs, the opto engine cutoff. Anyway, I feel pretty darned sure of this electrical system. It was shipped yesterday so I should have it Monday or Tuesday and that to the best of my knowledge is the last thing I don't have for this model. OH... graphics... I am going to order some custom lettering and such. But, that can be added anytime. I don't want to put a bunch of spendy stickers on it until after it flies. That's just opening the door wide open and inviting Murphy to come visit and start reciting his laws.

Meanwhile, back to the wings!
