if you do this you need to let the Rustolum cure out at least two weeks before flying
Polishing, yes.  Flying - why?

Gorgeous.  Will you fly it, risking a demise?  What engine?

Happy Birthday.  What year were you born in?  That's interesting to know, so one can see what was going on in the world when you was born. 
reliable sources say he is 249 years old.

I know Sparky won N30 and N30 Pilots Choice.

Bob Hunt won Classic with an electric Caprise.

The world's biggest kid Dan Banjock was in the mix somewhere, as was Joe Gilbert.

Maybe this can (should) go under contest results, but I thought we could start it here..

I was able to be there Sunday, but am short on PTO so I had to come home and work. Those still there, any results/photos would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Mark

Mike,
One alternate approach is to MonoKote the wing and tail surfaces and paint the fuse. This saves a lot of weight. Allen B used this method as his wife had a reaction to dope fumes. He used Rustolum top coat (if you do this you need to let the Rustolum cure out at least two weeks before flying). You could do the same with dope and do a 2K clear topcoat on the paint.

Best,    DennisT
