Not exactly SAP 180 HP related but the engine will go into this plane. Nearly all the base colors are finally applied
WOW! I can't wait to see it fly![sm=thumbup.gif]

Any projections on the AUW?
Bob,

I have final trim, lettering and pin striping yet to apply and then the clear. I expect to pick up about another 5-6 ozs or so which will bring weight to 5# 6 give or take. Equipment is pretty close to 5 lbs so probably around 10 # 6, maybe a little more.

The plane is considerably bigger than Temptress, much wider and deeper fuse. Wing is a little larger too. I should be able to see this scheme better than I can see Temptress. Temptress almost disappears in overcast sky...too much white.

The large cheks on the bottom should be better visual ques as should the top ckecked areas on the tips. At my age I need all the help I can get in terms of visibility.

Temptress told me why I couldn't draw a straight line the past month. The left aileron servo finally went...almost wrecked the plane in the process. I was very lucky only suffering canopy and rudder scratches and slight cracks. Oh, the plane flipped on it's right wing tip landing on its back when the left aileron went full down uncommanded. This on the TO roll. Very lucky to have the plane
