Ty,

Who's plans are you using. I'm a Bearcat fan but don't want to build Al's model. The profile will do me fine

And what a mess while wet sanding. My fingers will be silver for a week, Lava soap or not. Today I spray on a second coat of silver. Then more sanding and filling. Ugh. D>K

I understand that some don't like using disposable latex gloves but consider using them as they save your hands a lot of misery around solvents.

Ty,

Looks good for the stage it's at.

What did you cover your wing with?

Span? Power?

That's a very cool design, Ty, good choice! The fuselage must be about 18" tall at the canopy... LL~ Steve
