Great looking plane! But one thing you could do next time to clean it up a little is to cut the front edge of the covering along a straight edge before you put it on so there is a nice smooth edge. I have always liked small planes, and an aerobatic Ultamite would be awesome to have.

ya thanks for noticing the little imperfection on the leading edge.. lol
ya i messed up there but for doing it without any kind of idea of how i wanted it to go together and with no straightedge and cuttng by hand i think i did pretty good. 
hahaanyway.. i still have no idea about this race car.. can someone post a pic?

Seriously, it is a cool looking plane, and a great way to use leftovers instead of throwing them away. I am going to have to try that, got plenty of leftovers!........... I didnt even notice the leading edge until it was pointed out, all the colors draw away from it.

ya actually i think it came out kinda cool.. kind of aztec but with a modern racing kind of feel.
ya im gonna have to touch up that leading edge now that everyone is noticing it. lol
