Lol... right? Thank you Doug. That means a lot. Can't wait to get some photos of it all assembled. Soooo.... Kelly has an Alien on his plane. Maybe I should have ole Kermie printed up for the 330? Lmao.

As for the canopy/hatch... personally I find it one of the easiest parts of a plane to cover. Especially if you kept your old covering as a pattern.
Once it is cut out, lay it down and get to ironing. Be careful around the canopy front lip. The right temperature and just the right amount of pressure and it will look just like the boys do at Pilot RC.
As soon as the cockpit floor glue cures, we'll put the instrument panel decal in and put Mr. Green back in the pilot seat. I'm shooting to get this step completed tonight. I have three very simple steps to completing the plane. I hope to finish those steps tomorrow after a little outing at the field with a certain red headed quad powered Behemoth Beast. I would really like to get some completed photos tomorrow afternoon.
Wow.. one day away from finishing this project. Whew...

Okie dokey. That's a wrap for me tonight. With the cockpit floor glue cured, I could now put the instrument panel decal on the inside.
And reinstall Mr. Green.
He looks pretty good all sitting there ready for blast off! Going to call it a night. But tomorrow we finish this beast.

I just had to have myself a nice little Saturday afternoon nap after flying this morning. But I didn't sleep long. A certain red head was calling my name. Oh fiddle de dee... it took me the better part of two hours to put the backer blocks and blind nuts in the lower cowl. I insisted on doing it right.
But thankfully everything lined up perfectly. Thanks to my son @Shayne Epley.
After the cowl was completely set, I applied the last of the B&E Graphix. No "Mighty Dub" powered plane is complete without the proper insignia.
Or the proper bad ass 1fity7 markings.
And lastly... a full picture array of the now 99% completed Pilot 330sc. Oh but wait... who wants to see it? Lol. I say 99% because I still need to baffle that gorgeous red head. That won't take but a minute. And epoxy in the 1/4x20 wing bolt studs. Another minute or two. I plan to get those done tonight.
As for the picture array... it is just my opinion because I can see it up close and personal, but the photos really don't do this plane justice. I am at the least, very proud of the last half a year work I've put into this. Ok, 'nough said. I can't upload the photos from my phone. (Too many) I will download them onto my computer and post them shortly. Stay tuned everyone.
