How did your balance work out? Manual says 65 - 70mm from front of wing. Mine works out to be about 70mm. Did your tail bracing change your balance point?

Hi Bill,

The last 10% I have left to complete on this plane is taking more time and I guess it's because being picky slows things down. I have just about all the covering done. I ordered paint so...

Hey Bill,

That looks nice and clean. You're quite a bit ahead of me now. I've been unable to work on mine recently but I will get back to it shortly. What is the trim color going to be?
