Not really. The plug for 1/4 scale fuse is in the works. But project has slowed down due to work load.

Been busy on the 1/4 scale Raiden. Wing is ready for glass and she is really moving along. I am glad to be back working of it. John

Life work and economy got in the way. I hope to have it in the air early spring. After it's flight tests plans, kit ect will be available. Hang in there!! John

I know about life and work. Kept me from building for 20 years, but I am on the way back. Can not wait for the kits.

After the glass cured I trimmed the excess off and gave the wing a good sanding with 80 grit then I sanded it again with 180 grit. Next I will do 2 coats of of water based primer. I apply it with a foam roller. Spot fill and sand. John

John What brand of primer are you using? I have always used Laqure primer but like to find something that doesen't stink so bad. Thanks Rich

LAWNDART65

It's a waterbourne Mohawk primer. It comes white but I had them tint it light gray. John

Its ESM a hair under 1/5 scale looks pretty good for a base to start at....a little sand paper and some scale detail under fresh paint will deck it out
