are you seriously covering it with paper towels? that'll be great for absorbing spills but how does it do with the paint?

pretty cool but i don't get why people like to have their faces sandblasted by standing back there when the plane is taking off??? I've been into St Maarten in a 737, that's another place where the people stand out there. There was a little bar on the beach just off the centerline of the runway and you can have a drink while watching the planes land, SunsetSXM.com

it looks good though! am i right?

That is exactly what I was going to say! More power, less weight, more reliable.

a DA-50 makes more power than a G-62? I've seen that comment before but I have a hard time believing it, it's 12cc's difference after all. Zenoah's are pretty darn reliable, fwiw, nothing against DA but it's not like it's some no-name brand engine.

Ha! No. Papertowels are because I'm messy.

Covering is Polyspan. Slightly time consuming, but I wanted something a little different. Dope the entire structure, sand with 320, apply Balsarite, and iron on. Shrink with the iron. Then, one coat of full shrink dope, another of non-taughtening dope. Finally, prime and paint.
