| Fuse as shown weights nearly 0.6 oz, I am going to delay putting on stringers till I have more of the details sorted out. The LPS motor and small battery may not be enough so I either need the EPS-300 shown or a brushless equivalent weighing much less. |

| Yesterday it hit 102F so I restricted myself to activities that did not generateheat (few people around here have A/C). This build is for the 2008 "G Ghallenge". |

| Poppy, I found these laying around and think maybe you can find a use for them. I'm going to mail them out tomorrow morning so you should get them Friday or maybe Saturday at the latest. |

| I have been getting my hiney kicked by Poppy's canopy despite all I learned from my first victim, DD. The plan is to fill the wood grain with Hobbylite then shrink down a thin layer of plastic to provide a smooth surface for the canopy. |

| The first coat of resin is sanded down and 1/8" sheet has been applied around all edges to ensure a little excess plastic to work with when demolding and trimming to fit the plane. The purple disk is some extra resin, it is hard as a rock. |

| Poppy's canopy mold arrived today, shown here inside the kit canopy and with the stock plans. The finishing resin is said to provide a heat resistant surface to protect the wood from dents and dings and to sand to a smooth finish. |
