      Thanks Gunny,

      While I wait for the Cockpit paint to cure, a splash of Red for the wings....I'll have to put the spoiler caps on eventually.

      Glued on the Aileron and connected the servo ( trimmed the servo horn and a little yellow shrink tubing to hide the threads. )

        That the $64 question.......Probably on the higher end of the range I would guess.
        Getting closer to the "nose weight" portion of the program.

      After a minor comment from Jim......I put some blue tape on the front of the canopy with an Arrow.......

      Electronics integration completed so the Rudder tray was installed.

        The moment of Truth - accompanied by some ZAP Formula 560 canopy glue.

        Now the interesting thing will be to get the orange clamp off....

          You could have attached a thread to the clamp first and run it out through the tow release opening so you could just pull on it, or just put your hand through the wheel opening!

          Got the clamp off,....combination of micro flyer pushrod with a Z-bend as the clamp has a small hole drilled in the arms .....and a carbon rod.
          Of course this is after I got the canopy unglued from the airframe.

        Put things together to start the balancing process......and see how things look with the Canopy on and Spoilers up.

                And it fly's.......quit wonderfully I might add, excels at working the smallest thermal bubbles, very nimble
                Balance is at 7 inches back from the leading edge root.

                  Probably the wonderful aroma of Hickory smoke wafting through the flight line.......
