Lol I guess black and white can make silver(grey) Anyhow on to more important things then Kleins health and welfare. I just got home from the paint shop, where I was finally able to unmask the first wings and stabs with the Ultrakote on the bottom. I cannot put into words how happy I am with the results.

Steve's and Todd's are ready for clear and they are almost perfect. When I say almost I am not talking technique I am refering to the overall quality. I have to rate these as easy 9's so there is still some room to improve but they are really, really nice and they
are the first ones. Super lite and clean. The wings and stabs are very flat looking (No washboard) and that is what I have been looking for.

Today I think we made a huge leap forward in two areas. One was the Ultrakote,paint system (proving it works) and the second was in how we are going to be doing the sheeting from now on. As many of you know, with even the best models coming from Asia you still see the washboard in the wings.

That is from sanding the sheeting after it has been put on the core. (Foam or built up) Well today we have figured out a way to eliminate that. Normally I am happy to tell all,but this has been a lot of work and (Sr, Jr moments) so I am not going to go into great detail on how. The bottom line is I am completely satified with the wing construction.

Once again Mike,I am sorry that you ordered yours last week,everyone else no problem. I would be posting some pics but I forgot to bring the camera with me. Also Marcelos has had to be away from the shop for the past few days (And has been somewhat distracted when he was there) because Lorena had some health complications. Its not my place to go into detail but the important thing is they will both be ok.

Pictures tommorow
