This week has been a monumental week for us down here. As you guys know we added the all painted planes this year and with that a ton of extra steps and little problems along the way. The paint shop was getting really backed up so we made the decision Marcelo would stay at the one factory and I would be at the paint shop. Now at first I was really nervous about this because the last models I painted were Formula Ones in 93-94. Of course all of the products I new back then are still the same now (fillers, primers etc) but all the numbers are different and to top it off we are in Argentina. So Marcelo and I went to the PPG dealer and through Marcelo I was able to describe the products I was looking for and they had them.

Last week was also a short week due to a national holiday so nobody worked on Wed. However we were able to get a ton done and back on track. We finished Mike Muellers second Onas (ARF) Mike Kleins Visa, Dan Landis Visa, and Todd Blose Visa, and Gustavos Visa. I am jealous of every one of them.

Also by Marcelo being able to stay at the other factory without having to run back and fourth he was able to get a ton done. We now (finally) have in stock ARC Visa's and Onas's. A new laser cut rudder for the Visa/Passport split version and the planes that are being brought to the paint shop are complete and ready for primer. I have attached a couple pics showing a few different Visas that were all finished last week.
