Congrats Kevin! I bet it looks great!

Re: Crispy Critter has WINGS!!!!!!!!!

It looks pretty good but when I was painting there was some dust blown in the hanger and it shows up worse then I expected when outside in the sunlight....it will just have to stay there for now but I might pull the wings back off and repaint them later.

Great Kevin! Hope to see it in Alliance this year.

Kevin,

As a stop gap measure to looking at specks in your paint, you can water sand them with 800 grit wet/dry paper and go for a satin finish. You could still repaint them later if you decide you are tired of the satin finish. Also you might be able to buff them back to a gloss later.

Also keep in mind that if you get your wings out in good sunlight, most people won't even notice a little dirt in the paint unless they know where to look.

How about some photos!

I find this very exciting.
What's the next step?
How (or would you) check for something so far out of adjustment that you would have problems during your first flight? - Mike (who is still scraping masking tape off ribs and cleaning them up)
