HI
Semi-rebuilt after a flamout in 2003. JetCat P-120. Weight 23 Lbs dry. 90oz of fuel. Landing flaps and a bifurcated pipe. Custom mixed the paint to duplicate the metalic properties of the production bird.
Looks like it will wait to fly in Hawaii since the movers come this week.

HI
You guys are tough
Still some final stuff to do like the screwing on exhaust petals and radio programing. I'll have to wait to convert back to a 72MHZ receiver. That ones just in there to keep track of all those channels. I bought a MX-22 12 ch Tx. It's a great radio. Programing much more flexible than my old 10sx once you learn the programing layout. What's the latest and greatest JR receiver these days?

Hat off to you Mike!
That is one hell of a phoenix job. I thought you were kidding me when you said you would rebuild it. I would have binned it, but you are obviously made of sterner stuff.[8D]
Good luck with the maiden.
Regards,
John.

HI
Thanks Mark,
The Fuse is new. I used the all the flying surfaces, gear and odds bits. For about 500 bucks I have a new airplane.
Enrique, The ailerons are just painted on. It flys with elevons.
Chris, It's acrylic lacqure. I ended up using about 5 parts silver, to one part grey and a little black to get the shade right. Used more paint experimenting than I did painting the plane
Here's a pic or two of the example:
