Nice job on the spats Charles. When you set about sanding them to shape, is there a pattern or do you just eyeball it?

Geo: Before sanding I just make a pencil mark at the rear center, top and bottom, so I don't sand more than half way. Other that that I use a version of Wayne's Mk-1 eyeball.

Coming along nicely Charles.

Unless we get a spate of very nice weather, I am afraid the A.C. Racer is going to die on the vine.

I have been banished from the breakfast room ! My only other option is to get a heater of some kind for the garage.

Lets hope for warm weather...

I suppose the dope-flavoured bacon was the last straw.

No, but the aroma filling the kitchen whilst she was cooking was.....

You've been soldiering on nicely while I've been supping and sunning Charles. Do like the spats and I hope it warms up for you.

The missus is working today, so I get to play in the dope. Just finished giving the Racer it's third coat of 50/50. Also glued some 1/8" balsa to the inboard ribs of the wings, to correct a screw up. The Racer will get a light sanding in awhile, and another coat of dope. Will work on the inboard edges of the wings later.

Yea... I know, it's been too long...
