Ready to Maiden
She's ready for her beauty shots before the maiden flight. Rigging is braided fishing line. The windshield in the plans didn't look anything like the ones on a real SE5a. This one looks more scale. The whole airplane got two coats of 50/50 Eze Dope brushed over the decals. Two months to build almost exactly to the day. Seems longer. The hands will be shakin' during the first flight.![Eek! :eek: :eek:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
The weather today is miserable. The weekend looks to be no better. Here's hoping the next post has a flight video before too long.
