Haha, wishful thinking Mogas! We getting there, eager to cover and start on cockpit and instruments, but that will come later. Now we need to do the rigging of the wings (by KFA) and then start on dry fitting of the finishing kit which arrived Friday night.

Thanks KFA for the advice.

Covering was a challenge but extremely rewarding. Finishing up and pinking tape was time consuming but enjoyable… Looks good from my eyes!

Painting was fun, followed the advice gotten on the procedures and mixing, and even better that my 15 year experience car spray painter did a good job!
