Main construction and assembly has been completed. I'm finishing the radio and power system installations, and then I'll do decals.

Yea 400W/lb should about do it.. But wouldn't a nice round 500 be better?

Beautiful, Michael!  I really like your colour scheme.  This will make an excellent photo subject against a blue or cloudy sky!  On white it will look like the wings, top of the fuse and the top of the rudder/fin are separate entities flying in formation!!

Bravo!!

Hey!  How did you end up treating the plastic turtle deck?  Did you cover the top of the fuselage and paint the plastic, cover the plastic, or paint onto the fuselage film?

Michael

I found a blue spray paint that closely matched some blue covering. I used 4 different types of covering with varying heat/stick/melt temperatures, and this made covering more difficult than planned. It worked out, but it was challenging.

The plastic was spray painted, and attached by screwing at 2 locations into balsa (glue re-enforced holes) blocks.

The 2 screw-heads match up with 2 hold-down magnets under the canopy-battery-hatch.
