well the main wing has been sealed and got the top covering on, once dry i can turn it over and cover the underside.

need to brave the snow tomorrow and make the u/c legs.

Got the first coat of paint on the fuselage now.
can do the second coat tomorrow and then seal.

wing is covered and drying, 2 more coats of sealer to go before paint.
u/c legs are on and drying.

fuselage has the second coat of white and red done, only blue to go.

with any luck i can get all the sealer on the wing tonight and have it ready for paint in the morning.

Had a real rubbish day today, everything went wrong.

got the wing dowels in the nose sorted, eventually.

cant put the wing bolt plate in until after i have sorted the rudder servo as it hides the servo mount.

so i hinged the rudder and elevators and tidied them up paint wise.
then did the red on the top of the wing.

Then we did the blue on the top of the wing, got the white to do later. then when dry i can flip it over and do the underside.
thinking of only having red and blue on the underside to aid with orientation.

I like that up front cockpit, seems to add that touch of finesse to the styling.
Cracking job Tony, well done mate.

Right'
i done me chores this morning, (cleaned the bathroom and cut logs for the fire) so after lunch i got down to doing something.

Got 2 coats of sealer on the fuselage, the third coat will be done after it is fitted out.

then we got the first coat of red on the underside of the wing.

then we slopped some blue on.

once it is all dry i can flip it over and do the white on the upper wing.
then it is a case of second coat of paint, fit the ailerons and 3 coats of sealer.

fit out and finish.

Tony put - c of g is right at the t/e of the wing,

So, unless I'm seeing things, the main legs are slightly IN FRONT of the c of g! You've made a tail-dragger with a nose leg!

Tony, if you are building as the plan says then you are doing it right, keep it up you're doing just fine.
