WEll, the Bat Plane is finally ready to go. I finally got a header that works (after a lot of work with a down and rubber hammer). And I got the leadouts wrapped (geez, two hours of tedious work - I hate wrapping leadouts). But for all that, it's ready to go. This weekend if we get anything like decent weather. Supposed to be partly cloudy and 45° on Saturday. Final, all up weight is more than I hoped for (about 58oz on 660 square inches). Man, that not only an ugly finish, it's a heavy on. If the plane flies well, it may be looking at refinsh somewhere down the line. But for now, it's not too heavy, straight and probably adequtely powered. Hopefull, I won't need to add any more weight to it to balance. Guess we'll see.
I'll shoot a picture of the finish product at some point.
