Turtle build

Finished the horizontal stab today and so finally have the tail surfaces covered using Oratex. Moving on to cover the wings next.

Turtle build! That's a good one!
It's looking good, Gary! I've got to get over there again sometime soon.

What are the cost using Oratex ?

Nice job! Can't wait to get started, I'll be ordering the same color with white trim.

I have relied upon a materials quantity that John Evens worked up which resulted in ~$6300 cost. Pricey, but I was NOT looking forward to building a big enough paint booth in my garage and trying to get sufficient lighting in there to do a good job. I will still of course need to spray the cowl, flaperons, etc., but figure I can do them outside. I have been told that Stewart Systems will be doing a paint match to the Oratex colors, and hope to use that paint. Since my plane is powder coated in white, I will probably be doing a white trim also. I will be investigating vinyl for trim rather than paint. At the turtle pace, I have time to figure that out.

Looking really nice Gary. Hope mine turns out as nice.
