Ready for clear

I spent today finishing the wheel doors and detailing the whole plane. Sense the wind will be up tomorrow I will clear it and I am looking to fly this next week.

Unless things change, no flying this weekend in KC.   Of course St Louis is 250 miles east of me and it could be stunt heaven weather.

Plane still looks great.

Robert,

I meant to ask earler, what's holding your gear farings on. Method of attachment? Do they call them farings?

Yes, solder a tang on the wire to keep them inline and epoxy to the wire. The wire is inside the door.

Today was 2 coats of clear and steal wool. 000 so now its dull but coming along. I hope to get some more clear on it tomorrow. It should end up fairly shiny but won't have the 12 inch finish of the others. Paint is heavy. But I do like the end results so far in under 1 month.

I did have to take the Mercury decal off the rudder as the clear rolled it up. I might paint a 2 instead.

Yea, it seems that sometimes it's a choice between a front row finish or a good flying plane.

Well its pretty good for 29 days. I think its better than most and as good as some. So we shall see how it shakes out. I don't even know if it's going to be a good flier yet.

Sparky, you have to have confidence that you have just completed the next NATS Open winner.   I know you can do it. H^^
