Hi Doc:
Yeah, it has a certain business-like look about it without a "real" finish. With a bit of thought, the carbon on the wing could be applied more neatly and yield a more pleasant "look." We started out with the idea of producing a very spartan-like ship that no one would ever see. It was to be a pure testbed, but as we got going on it, several new ideas popped up, and it just sort of evolved into what you see in the photos. It will make a great motor/timer/ESC/retract test machine, and hopefully it will fly well enough to give us some information as to what to keep and what to change on the actual competition twins, which are next to build.
I have the first twin (the subject of this thread...) in primer and it is almost fully sanded and ready for the ChromaSeal coat and then another sanding before the thin coat of color goes on. That one will for sure be ready for early spring test hops. Hopefully we'll also have the new twins ready for the season.
As my good friend, Dick Sarpolus would say, "Hey, Twins are fun!"
