Thank you !, There was a time I was getting tired of building it. Now that it is 95% done it was worth it.
Now I hope it flies good
Till Next Time !

I didn't like how the canopy fit so I decided to mold into the hatch. I made a template of the canopy then traced on the cockpit and used a dremel tool with a router base to cut out the slot.I had to use some epoxy and micro balloons to feather it in. I then sprayed on primer to blend it in.Now I have to repaint a part of it, however the latex paint blends in very nicely. Next step is a little more weathering, then the satin clear coat, putting the turbine back in and programming the radio Till Next Time! Jerry B
