Well my pilot was printed from a file that is definitely Patrick stuart, but obviously my painting has altered him a little and so many have commented that he looks like Walter white? As a fan of the show, I couldn't resist helping that idea along and last night I needed a diversion from.painting and add o sat after work with needle and thread and a piece of felt fabric and here's the result

[ARUP]

That's going to be one good looking bird!

Progress before work today,

[Alexis Scott]

The final pre aint jobs continue, last night I started running all the wiring through and did the final set up of elevaor drives, I've made brass tube inserts for the connection between the pushrods end and elevator horns so now when I assemble the tail I can drop the new brass tube horn ends into the aluminialuminium pushrod ends and secure with a screw through both, I also rebuilt the rudder drive with a double ball on the idler bellcrank which has removed all slop and improved the geometry of that somewhat, the rear of the fuselage is now all programmed and working I have had the wings all working but will be doing another final hook up and test of flaps and ailerons before paint now that the hinging is all permanently attached, I've settled on ,in the cavity under the wing as the perfect spot for the receiver so the extension leads all are set up to go up to there including doubled up power wiring from the Front mounted battery tray.

+1 That thing is HUGE!

[lenb]

Wow,
That is big! Look at the wing cord on that thing... Should be a FLOATER for sure.
Thanks for the inspiration...

On the home stretch now, really getting excited about how shes looking,
