Hey Everyone,

As promised, I am attaching some pics of the bottom of my Angel with the yellow and black color scheme. As you can see the bottom is quite different than the top. But I am not sure that at a distance it will contrast all that much. I have found that just about any color scheme will sillioutte on certain days anyway. I believe that Mike has the right idea, don't fly the darn thing so far out as to where you cannot see it....lol..

All I lack with mine is setting the throws on the control surfaces. I did a final weight check as listed below along with the equipment that I have. Will be ready to fly it when the weather cooperates, which looks like it will be a week away as of now. The only mods I made, I removed the magnets and installed a hatch latch in the canopy. My magnets were so strong that I actually had to use a rod from the bottom to help push it off the first time I removed it. My first Angel had cracks along the bottom edges from where the previous owner used his fingernails to help remove it. On that one, I simply sook a piece of white electrical tape and doubled it over and attached it to the inside on the top rear of the canopy to where it stuck out about 3/4" when the canopy was closed. That way when you wanted to remove the canopy you just lifted the piece of tape, and it pulled it right off. I never had any issues with the canopy coming off in flight even with positive and negative snaps, but then again, it had really strong magnets on it.

I will most likely wind up with a APC 17x10e prop but all I had at the moment is a 17x8e. I will post the static results when I get a chance to check it and fly it. Ground clearence is okay with the 17" prop, but it will most likely pick up some grass stains from the weeds, etc. just like my Wind does at our field. We will see....

Note - I also checked incidences and the wings are zero zero with respect to the stab.....
