Good start Noah
Reinforcing the inside joints of the firewall to the foam-board will add strength

Keep going!  I will try to go to Rogo Field on Sunday.  If it is ready I would be happy to help with the maiden flight.
Will post under "GENERAL" whether I can be there by Saturday morning.

Noah,

I'll be there.  Your job is to chase away the rain.
I will post at 9 am whether I am a "go".

ps: I live south of Yonge and Eglinton so it is a bit of a hike.

BEHR from Home Depot makes paint that is friendly to FliteTest foam. Just use light sandpaper on the foam first to scratch it up.
I used Aluminum coloured rust paint on one plane and it dissolved the glue holding the paper to the foam.
