well i bit the bullet today and soldered up the esc and motor wires.
wiring all done now and edf tested.
need to measure the thrust, but it does move along the floor under full thrust now ( even if it i noisy)
i have just enough 3mm depron left to finish covering the underside of the fuselage.
so thats the job for this weekend (after camper engine swap)
then cover paint and connect up the servos.

spent an hour before the camper finishing the sheeting on the underside.
need to cut and make the esc cooling duct next and then i can cover and finish the painting.
the canopy needs sorting as well, but we are nearly there.

finished all the sheeting now, sanded the joins and edges.
ready to cover tomorrow if i get time and my back allows.
a little bit left to do with the canopy fixing, then i have to fit all the controls and that's it finished.
will get back to the Lightning then and try to find some money for parts for the meteor.

well today i finished covering the underside.
then i slopped some white paint over it.
then i added some rough panel lines.
looks ok from 50ft away, so that's good enough for me.
so now i have to do the markings, panel lines on the top and then hinge and connect the control surfaces.
nearly done at last.
can get back to the lightning soon.

well i spent the day adding markings with a shaky hand,don't look that bad if you squint from a distance. 
well all that is left to do is to connect everything up, give it a coat or two of sealer and a canopy magnet.
job done.
be the dreaded flight test soon.
