John, you are always welcome at the sticks

It will come in different schemes, though not exactly sure which ones yet

Jeremy, I'll be there Tuesday, but am afraid it will not be ready as my friends hauling the trailer are leaving this week

Alright guys, after a week at Joe Nall and a week of catch up I got back on it last night. Finished the pull/pull for the rudder, the engine install, the tank, throttle servo, ignition battery install and joined the cowl halves. Shouldn't be long now!!

Looks awesome!

One question though. 3 hinges in the rudder, is that enough? This IS a 40% bird... Just curious
