Finally decided on what I wanted to do with the ailerons, everything is all wired up and I am working on making it pretty now LMAO! Not a lot of vinyl on this one , keeping it simple, I have 2 more #77's to put on the V-stab and that is it besides what you see there now. If the sun decides to make an appearance sometime in the near future it will get a clear coat, but right now we are into day 7 of wind, rain and fog and its not looking any better for the next 3 or 4 days. Also waiting for my new transmitter and receiver to arrive to hook everything up and get control surfaces set. Getting close to the finish line and in the air.

So with all the rain, wind and fog I have been picking away at this and am down to 2 pieces of posterboard under the H-stab and finish the paint job I had no intention of starting LMAO! Rest of rear tail area finished up ok, and the wingtips are all fished off as well. Looks like today is last day of this crappy weather and then things start to look up to get some flying in. I am not totally happy with the paint but it will look ok after another coat of white and some black pinstripe to finish it out. If it survives the maiden it will get a coat of clear LOL.

I am lucky if they get more than a slop of house paint these days. Came a long way from the F6F.

What a nice clean build! You won't see the wrinkles when it's flying. You're a master

Took this out to maiden yesterday finally. Feeling pretty good about everything being set up right. Pulled canopy off, plugged battery in and when placing the hatch back on realized I hadn't done anything to lock it in place. No maiden. Ended up putting in some magnets on bottom of hatch, holds solid so its all good to go again. Figured I might as well get a weigh in too, 936 grams w/o battery,not too bad. Couple of other pics to show the hatch and the Reflex setup. Next chance I will have is Thursday morning for a maiden. Uploading some video from yesterday in a bit of some other flights I got in yesterday.
