    Man that looks great Brian! Wait till you get to peel off that coating on the acrylic. Wish I had that in flight adjustable prop that you have. Maybe it will come one day.

    Nice work Brian and I really like those shades and the way they fold down. And that's a kick-ass orange colour you've got. It just shouts "here I am", just as it should be ... !!

    I was inspired to go bold by the green on the factory Speedster. My original plan was a blue/white/gray scheme, but I like that I should be easy to spot in the air and on the ground.

    Default Update

    I Installed StolSpeed VGs to the horizontal stab, did the final install of the tail feathers, and pushed the fuselage to the airport. For the first time in almost a year, there is no airplane in my garage. It kind of feels lonely at home now, and I feel moments of panic when I open the garage door and find no airplane there.

    Sprayed primer on struts and inspection covers this morning, the next few weeks will be exclusively painting.

    Looks super awesome Brian. I had a heart attack first time I opened the garage and there was no plane in there after 5+ years lol.
