Ok fella's, I'm back at it. Everything has been taped and covered so the lines can be cleaned up. As soon as the outside temperature gets up a little I will shoot it.

My plan is to clear the top of this wing tomorrow, clear the entire airframe again Wednesday, and start final assembly on Thursday. The only thing I can not get to this week is finishing up the canopy, but, if the mounts come in this week it will be done next week. And if all that goes to plan, I will work on the maiden the week after Christmas.

First will be a EMHW 46% Pitts S1-S modeled after the Bulldog 1 for a fellow RCU member. After that it will be an EMHW 40% Challenger modeled after the Bulldog 2 for myself.
Sorry buddy, that has been pushed so far back it's not even on the stove.

The wing has been clear coated, I apparently mixed up enough for two coats so after it flashed off (20 minutes) I went ahead and gave it a second coat. I am going to let this set for two hours then I can move it out of the way and Scotchbrite everything else. Then tomorrow everything else will get a second coat of clear coat. And then I can begin the final assembly, of which will take a day or two, maybe even three.
