| I marked the location of the exhausts with a pin and it's now headed to the paint shop. |

| It takes skill, patience, a "fair-hand", an artists eye, and dedication to produce work like this! Not many of us have ALL these attributes! Although we ALL probably share Davids' love of aeroplanes. |

| I noticed that starboard now is 24 cents heavier. To get serious - do you cover the fillets with silkspan too? I used the balsa filler over balsa, silkspan. The whole thing has at least 4 coats of dope. Where the filler was thicker, it split, or cracked in a couple of places after a couple coats of acrylic. Any ideas on what I did? (Next time I'm trying the spackle.) |

| Thanks, all. Don: If you mean the right side, that's a penny. I do occasionally see port and starboard utilized relative to aircraft but in the 20 1/2 years I was in the United States Air Force I never ever heard the terms utilized by anyone. If someone had utilized that terminology they would have been laughed off the flight line. Serious...I do not cover the filets. The lightweight spackle I use does not shrink so I would guess the filler is the problem. I don't think acrylic paint shrinks enough to cause the split. |

| Using "utilize" for use is enough to get you laughed off the flightline, too.:-) |

| Yep, USAF effective writing kicked out utilize real quick. |

| OK. What if I say the wing that usually has the green light on it used to have a quarter on it? But seriously - thanks. I figured it was probably the filler, or maybe covering it, but this is the first time I've had the problem. I'll test it on the next build. Nice photos from the desert. |
