I'm continuing to struggle with the refinish on the Cobra. Ya know, some planes just seem to fall together. It seems that everything works  and no significant problems arrive. There there are others ...

This thing had fought me every step of the way. It seems if something could go wrong, it did. This is largely due to the time of year., I know, but really. The pens seems like they are working well (for inking), it seems that no matter how well prepped, the paint bleeds under the tape, no matter how much care is taken, there are touch ups to do, no matter how careful I am, I can't get the decals to work right (bleed, cracking, man, I'm on my third set of decals).

I'm about really to throw the thing in the rack, forger it until summer and just spectate at VSC.

Keep in there Randy,

I need inspiration too.

Many thanks to you and Ty, and Dennis, and Bill, and Uncle Mikey, and...

Merry Christmas to all.

All I can say Randy is HANG IN THERE!  When you first see it in the sun, when you hear the first appreciative comments.  When you start flying it and see that classic shape drawing beautiful pictures in the sky - THAT's when you will know that it ws worth it!

Yep, been there, many times. The patience to get through all of this is what typically separates the "stand out" models from the "others".
Hang in there Randy, it's all worth it the first time you see it out there at the end of the lines!
