| AUW is 21.3 grams, motor is 1/8" single loop 9" long FAI tan SS, and sporting the Guillow's prop and thrust button (wanted to give them a try). The "USAF" decal is a cut up "U.S.ARMY" decal. In hindsight I think I would have prefered the Army version. |

| Covered with tissue and am working on the canopy pieces. Forgot to use black tissue so I have to paint the nose, but it should be fine. Esitmated AUW is 20 grams plus the weight of crystal clear and decals. |

| DD's master carvings get a coat of the good stuff. |

| Weight as shown is 6.6 grams. But now I have to wait for tissue from Easy Built. |

| The three of the 11" long kit stringers weigh as much as six of the 18" long stringers that I cut myself. Rather than cut into a fresh balsa sheet, these are cut from the edges of the Dumas sheet wood that was in my Corsair kit. |

| The new part is nearly half the weight of the heavy kit part, but is still 50% heavier than the lighter kit part. Goes to show that even Guillow's can have quility wood from time to time. |
