| 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 finally found time and suitable weather to dist off my transmitter and planes. Of course the 0-1 MPH wind that was forecasted was more like 5+ MPH with gusts. The sun is far enough to the South now to allow landing from the East in the morning. |
