Covering the fuselage was delayed a few days while I scalloped the formers and added some basic cockpit details. I'm afraid this is about all the detail I have the time and weight budget for. |

Moos, this is one of the worst wrinkles. I am convinced that with experience I could reduce the severity of the wrinkles if not completely eliminate them. This one here might even improve a bit if I spend a little time ironing it. |

Covering the wing adds just 4 grams. If I estimate the fuselage covering will also be 4 grams then the whole covering job is just 9.5 grams (0.33 oz), this puts my AUW estimate at ~8.6 ounces (not including any paint, decals, or scale details). |

I'm pretty sure I'll be going with this color scheme. Too bad I did not get any red or black Solite, I will have to paint those areas. |

Covering the elevator and horizontal stabilizer adds 0.9 grams. It is difficult to extrapolate that weight to the entire plane to guess the AUW, but I am encouraged by how light the covering is. |
