Good save with the flaps and ailerons, and well done Wojtku for the heads up!

Spit a bit more paint today, not much but about done.

 

[Crimea_River]

Looking good Don.

 

[Wurger]

Agreed.

Concur and just 13 days left, no pressure.

 

[fubar57]

Nice, getting close

 

[Donivanp]

Movinging along. I am soaking a flat tooth pick to see if I can put a bend on it for the tail skid. I used a piece of .25 and .20 steel rod to make the front and rear stations for the skid, we'll see if this works. Most of the paint work is done, need a couple of items to go, (tires and hubs, pitot and radio mast and canopy). clear coat and decals.

 

[fubar57]

Looks good, hope the skid works

 

[Crimea_River]

Why not just bend a steel nail?

 

[Donivanp]

I have some flat brass but want to try the wood.

Ok, so I soaked a flat tooth pick for a few days in water and then taped it to a curved file and left it set for a few more.

and then I trimmed it to size and super glued it to my piano wire struts.

and here is what we have after. It is a bit over sized but I'm willing to take the hit on that.
