Looking good Don. You'll probably have yours done before mine, and all I have left is the landing gear

Looks a bit like whacky racers but if you look at it twice it has that eye-catching thing about it. Hotrod style. Nice.

Alrighty then, I've been goon a couple weeks back to my home of origin, Oregon, as it was my moms 85th birthdate and mother's day all wrapped up in one bit surprise for her. Had a great time and now I'm trying to get this thing back on the ol' schedule. Before I left I got it pretty much put together but it had some gaps and I did some filling with goop I had made with the leftover Tamiya thin. So I've been sanding on the airplane all my live long days, I've been sanding on the airplane just hoping it all goes away. Can't you hear me puffing and blowing, trying to get 'er clean? I've sanding on the airplane, well any way! As per Glen's suggestion on the brass tubing, not needed as to how the canards are designed, they are already molded with a connector and it is free floating.

Well did some selective primer shots to look at work done and work to do.

Looks like work to do!

Hi Don, good results. You might want to consider thinning your primer a bit more for spraying. That, with lower pressure and putting the nozzle closer to the work should get rid of all those tiny dry overspray dots.
