PBR is for college kids, they drink it while wearing their porkpie hats and little pencil beards trying to be ironic. (or is it moronic?, I get those two confused...)

Saw one coming out of the store this morning, (7am!) with a case of PBR, goofy little hat, pencil beard and a skinny tie! How weird is that!

Thanks for the nice comments, Lads. They are appreciated. Looking at the plans, to apply the decals in the right spots, I noticed I have not made an antenna mast ! Guess that's next. Thanks for looking...

Also, here's a preview of the tail wheel...
