i started this project on December 9th, just under a month from start to finnish. i did NOT have fun with the monokote.lol. now i just need to fly it!

Sean - looks great! What type of plane it that?

Get an teacher if you don't already know how to fly. The last thing you want to do is waste all that time and effort you put into building!

There's a lot of red in that picture!
Is that a tiger 2 kit? Looks good. Good job on the covering. What about the bottom, does it look like the top? If so, you might want to do something about that!

Where did you find Homer with arms? The only ones I've see have just been heads.... as a matter of fact, he's gonna fly my Zen when it's ready.

...its a Tiger 2 kit

i just found a club and an instructor. i was going to build a trainer but he told me he could teach me to fly this plane no problem

... i am embarassed to tell you how many toy stores i went to find that Homer,LOL, it took a while to find anything with the right proportions. next plane will have Kenny from South Park

Homer's in for the ride of his life!!! Should put Marge sittin right next to him but then you would need a huge canopy. looks good, cool plane

Looks good. The Tiger is a great flying plane. I have one myself but its the arf version. This model makes a great low wing trainer type of plane. Usually, its your 2nd plane after you've mastered a high wing trainer. This plane also handles the wind pretty well.
What size engine is on it? I have an OS .46 on mine.

Dave...

For your first covering job, its excilent!!!! iv seen some pretty messed up first covering jobs, but urs is superb!!! Isnt kit build so rewarding!?!?! Have a blast boring hole in the sky!!!

Plane looks great, as does the covering. I'm actually in the process of putting together my first non-arf kit, and dreading the covering []

my advice is buy more covering than you need. i tried covering the stabilizer a couple of times and peeled it off because it looked horrible. after a few tries i started to get a handle on how the covering worked. it took several evenings to get it done and i still have to go back and seal up some edges better

Looks good. Love the Homer. He is a popular pilot. He fly's my twin.

It does look good, and I'm guessing that in real life, it's more this color.
Dennis-

wow! thats pretty slick. yes, thats exactly how it looks!

well done!

Adobe Photoshop. I just removed a lot of the red (Magenta) from your original.
Dennis-

You're gettin' pretty good with that Dennis
