Derek,

Looking real good!

Steve Fitton · « **Reply #5 on:** March 23, 2010, 08:13:50 AM »

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!

Hello Ed, I hope to have it done by then. If I do it will be there. I would like to have some time with this one before I leave.

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.
