Cutout the last templates. Decals, and final assy. I am getting bored of this plane. I have so many others. I should'nt do the same build twice in a row again.

It"s ready to fly. AUW 42 g. Not pretty but I hope it flys. Glide testing is perfect. Just waiting for a good weather day.

I will not be using Elmers and water as a substitute again. I had all kinds of wrinkling, and paint problems I never had with dope. I am thinking of trying swiping a bit of clearcoat and laquer thinner from the body shop guy at work. I think it's maybe the same thing as dope? I sanded this plane so thin that when I drew the panel lines on the tail; it actually cut off the elevator.But I needed nothing but 2 washers under the thrust button to achieve a perfect balance.

Rainy, and wind. So no Fly. But I did see an advertisement for Guillows in Model Airplane News for the first time in since I started reading it in 1980. I'm not really into it. Unlike the older MAN, its 85% flight reviews of RTF or ARF planes. I find that Fly RC magazine has the most builds. I'm not sayin MAN has none, but they used to have 2 or 3 construction articles in each issue. I miss them.
