I got this from fellow RCUer, hrrcflyer, several years back. It is a very well built plane, but it has many many flights since its birth. I ended up K2Ring the tail and cowl ring for a week, then I cut out the upper cowl foam and replaced it with balsa since the foam was just mush due to fuel. I redid the landing gear blocks since one of them was loose, and of course stripped the paint and film from the airframe. I went with Robart hinges on all surfaces after plugging all of the old hinge slots. The elevator control system has been changed to the DEPS system and the rudder is an arrowshaft with 4-40 rods.
I glassed the fuse and will be painting with 2 weeks, I hope.
The engine is an old Rossi FIRE blackhead with a straight header and MACS 10cc pipe, all internal. The gear are dave brown and radio will be Futaba.

First pic is how I got it, the others are as of last night.

Hey Buddy,

I remember that picture, has it really been that long? I see you've been busy lately. Looks like it's almost ready for some color. If you need any help with something, let me know.......

Take care,
David

Gotta go have some basecoat matched this week I hope. It should be in primer tonight.
