When I build mine I'll just use neon red card, for the skins, as I don't have / can't afford vinyl

Agreed... If there was a master builders trophy, I would award it to @leaded50 and @Ratcheeroo ...
Just my humble opinion

Just getting a start on the night , here is how it looks so far. Tailfeathers covered ,bottom rear plate covered, and a front hatch built and covered are the plan for tonight. That is probably the smallest Flite Test decal ever!

And the build will be complete tonight, All that is left is to finish vinyl on the trailing edge of bottom wing and install pushrods and control horns. I came up with a nifty latch for the battery hatch, works pretty good and tailwheel is installed. Also put the skins on at the rear fuse and tailfeathers. Looking to go for a maiden in the morning.

I luv how U fabricate. It reminds me of that show from the 80's were the main character could take a potato, some steel wool and a battery and blow up all the bad guys. Macgyver, that was it.

Ready for a maiden! All vinyl installed, exposed foam edges on tail and wings have been sealed and painted red. and all control surfaces are complete. Was hoping to take it out yesterday but wind was mid 30 kmh gusting to mid 40's so no opportunity there.
