I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

Here we are at the soccer field sized area ringed with maple trees. There is no hard surface for ROG so I have to hand launch and just try to land level on the grass.

In town there was almost no wind, but out at the field it was 5-10MPH with gusts to about 15MPH so I was unable to maiden and only took the Tyro up for about a minute. On the way home I stopped at this small field.

The smell of fresh paint and drying canopy glue fills the air as she wait for the dawn.

Covering the fuselage added only 2.1 grams. The paint test looks good so I am going to jump right into painting the rudder and the anti-glare area in front of the cockpit so that I can glue on the canopy.

The going has been slow, but I think it is safe to say that the most challenging half is done.

It's not perfect, but I think I'm off to a good start. In hindsight these were probably some of the more difficult surfaces to cover so maybe I should have started at the front.

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.
