Looks incredible!  The fits are super impressive on the take apart stuff.

I like the little rig you have to hold the flaps, etc while painting.  I need to copy that!

Hey John,

 I did check the weight early on (once I had all of the parts together). I think I can get it lighter than the one I have been flying, it is 68 oz. I would love to be at 65oz with this one. I do not really check the weight as I go along, I just hollow everything I can and hope for the best.
