Ah -- Power just came back on an hour ago. I can now see photo from my confuser. Could post from my phone but no pics.
Nice work Doc. Leo should be happy to see this one.
But you still have the leadouts going out the wrong wing! <= LL~

Well you asked for it. Design by Leo J. Mehl. Plans by Pat Johnston. Wingspan 47 13/16" + or - my errors on all sizes. Length 37 3/8". Wing area 480 sq. in. Engine size .19-.40, mine is powered with Brodak .40. Will call the weight out at 45 ounces which means it is probably a porker. Just need to locate the pilot who has the canopy.
Finish is Poly-span put down with Brodak Clear butyrate. Then after degassing for several weeks put on gray automotive primer. Did two coats as first coat was almost sanded off and found a few mistakes. Second coat was sanded to where I thought it looked good. Then sprayed automotive white on whole plane. The graphics is the automotive gray. Final coat was the two part automotive clear. All automotive paints are Omni brand including the reducer and hardener.
The landing gear is one that I got off of Eric Rule several years ago and is carbon fibre. Wheels are 2" Dubro. Controls came from CLC. Now I know I probably missed something, so forgive me.
More when I get it in the air. Maybe the pilot will show up after I fly it. Have fun, DOC Holliday
