The build looks great, and I love the cat!
I guess this means....she's an "AG CAT"?

And there are some odd ducks out there amongst the crop dusters that probably haven't had the FT foam build treatment, like the Transavia PL-12 (used in Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome) or the jet powered PL-12 belphegor.
Edit: Or the Kingsford Smith PL.7

By the way. I meant to mention... I switched back to hot glue. That "gorilla expansion" put a bubble in my wing. Not going to hurt anything. Just annoying.
From now on...The Flite Test way or the highway.
I'm a little late to the party, but I'd like to chime in.
White Gorilla Glue is fantastic stuff. I don't have the patience to build with it but I use it for repairs. It fills in cracks and leaves the airframe stronger than it was before the wreck!

Well, as you may or may not have noticed, I went back to hot glue after I was done with the wing. 🤷♂️

Nice and clean! It’s fun to get far enough into the build that you can imagine the plane flying!🛫

That's an odd shaped roomba.

I've got one of those too (the cat)
. She brushed herself against the rudder just before I took this photo, and I think I heard creaks

Ohhhhhh soooo close. Need to add control rods and control horns, build landing gear, bind up electronics, check balance and then maiden. I will probably wait on most of the paint job until after the maiden. Maybe a few spots but not the whole thing. It will be mostly brown for the maiden. My Quality Control specialist is checking it out again. She's concerned that I haven't put the top on the canopy. Don't worry. It's coming.

I think I like it as much as the kitty! Great job - I can't wait for it to fly!

Me too! I have been enjoying the build itself and the memories with it; but I'm also feeling very conflicted as I near the end.
- On one hand, I'm excited to get it in the air and therefore want to pick it up a little bit get it done.
- On the other hand, I've enjoyed the build so much, there will be a little sadness when I'm no longer walking out to the garage to build the next component.
Sounds like you need to start thinking about the next build! I’m fixing the viggen right now, and I can’t recommend it enough! I’ve let several friends fly it and they were very impressed, one of which is a relative beginner. It flies super smooth.Me too!

I've got my eye on the FT 3D.
Ooh, I’ve got that bird to and it’s a real performer! I know you’ll have fun with that one.

The cure for this is to overlap projects😉 it’s a never ending conveyor belt of planes and one is always on the bench ready to bolster or replace your hanger 😁I’ve got the kitfox, shrubsmacker and nnchipmunk all in different phases of tiles and template cutting. I also made progress on my bushwhacker the other day😃

Program in about 10% down elevator with the flaps to stop the plane from ballooning.
