Hi ppl.
Remember my seriously pranged Cub?
My 1st plane, its second flight. Now my 1st rebuild, and 1st attempt at solarfilm. Its not perfect up close, but then you don't fly them 6" from your face eh?
Its no longer scale, but thats because I couldn't get the right colour covering. We thought that when you see it in the air, green is good, orange is bad. ie. inverted.
I'm just waiting on delivery of a new cowl and canopy set, then its good to go.
What do you think? 1st time in at the deep end......

Not only do you crash 'em good, you fix 'em good too! Colors look great. I think you'll find now that it's not new, it will fly better and you'll be more relaxed. I once had one that was several different colors and was parts of two planes. Best flyer I ever had. It was a GP Big Stik. Here it is. So don't think your's is ugly at all...

WOODY,
That looks extremely nice!! It really looks like you did a "bang up job"
TWICE.
I just finished DESERT MOUSES, HANGER-9 ADVANCE 40. He busted the nose off of it a few months ago, I haven't been in a hurry to rebuild it, waiting for him to be more ready for it. I think it's time. I also bought an extra wing. (they have a slow roll rate)I took the covering off of it and made the ailerons longer,and took 1/2 of the DIHEDRAL out of it. That will be his next step.
Here's a picture of it now. I have to check the balance yet,and it should be ready to go tomorrow morning.
