Kewl....

Thanks I'll be ordering some soon.

I used the same tray material as you on my Reaction 54. Nice stuff to work with and looks nice...


Cheers,

Todd, I wish my bay trays looked that good. Flew my F-5 for fourth flight today. Really solid, but had gear door and brake issues to tinker with most of the day. All worked out so should put a few more on her tomorrow and if all goes well, will start crating her up for the trip to FJ. Look forward to seeing yours and maybe flying some formation?? Aloha, Woody.
