Thanks guys.

Hey Greg!  We need yours in the air too!

I guess I should keep updating the SE5a build since the plane is not finished, even though it's been flown.

I'm trying to get some more detailing done before the fun fly on Sunday.  There will still be lots to do after, but at this point I'm working on things like, staining the landing gear wood and painting the wheels and fuselage front grill.  The biggest impact to the looks of the plane will be the hand painted roundels.  These are large, circles on the top and bottom of the wings that have required several coats.  I had to stop last night to help Colin screw up his retracts... but that's another story...

Most important: fix the tail wheel.

Fixing the tail skid (no tail wheel on this thing) was the first priority... and it's done.
