You can buy yourself a Mecanno Set too......... if you are big enough vhpy . This morning William covered the top of the fuelage. I then took over, and covered the sides. Tomorrow we will cover the belly. Esteban, my other helper, will do the patches and finishing tapes. I see big rain predicted for this weekend, so will not be able to do any doping, as the process does not like humidity!! We are now going fast on this one. vhpy

If there is grass between your toes , you're flying to low.....
If ever in doubt about flying - drink a beer.
That will give you at least 8 hours to think about it some more.
