Fred,

Really nice job.  H^^

Looks as though tou used a blue pen on the blue and gray or black on the white?

Or is it just the photo.

Fred,

Gray is a good choice.

What pen?

I have seen the ship with my fingers...
Fred is a masterbuilder and finisher..
Only question is if Fiorotti will fly it or just hang it on the living room wall... LL~ LL~ LL~
There's even a bet going on.... Wall is winning... LL~ LL~

Charles, it's a 0,5 desegraph not sure if sells in America, and based upon the fact that nobody draws plans by hand anymore, maybe i should buy a dozen and save for the future!

Marcus, thanks for the comments! and yes, will fly, my bet is that he will fly! deliver tomorrow!

ready to fly!
final weight 80 Grams off the target (1,880 Grams)66,31505 oz
let's see how it behaves in flight, i am considering to build a new stab and lower a bit the weight, but flight will tell if it's needed at all
thanks for the kind words and for following the thread

The prop is from Igor Burger (the 12x5N if I'm not mistaken), with a burger 1.75" CF spinner.

And you guys had to see it in the flesh to truly appreciate Fred's skills.
I was there when he delivered the plane do Rogério and I swear he was speechless for a good 5 minutes.

The controls are butter smooth and the hinge line is flawless!

I'm trying to convince Fred to write and article on hinge installation (for some this may not seem like a hot topic, but believe me, I still struggle when it comes time to install the hinges)!

Fred,

Wow! Outstanding!

I reviewed the entire Thread again, a flawless model.

You guys are so talented and friendly, makes you want to move to Brazil, or at least take a Holiday.

Great flying site and all.

What's next!

thanks a lot Charles! i can say the same on the MIG and ARGO, both outstanding examples of crafstamaship from you!
now i will work on the written instruction for the stock kit!
next model? i still have to finish an 1/4,5 scale P-47 (r/c) and then will be back to some CL for myself!
take a holiday here, i am sure you're gonna be more than welcomed and will live like a king with a hobo budget due to our poor cambio!
best regards
Fred
