The body is covered it doesn’t look to bad. Now all that needs to be covered is all the parts. 7 of them rudders, elevator and elevons and a bunch of hatch’ s.
That little white spot along the nose is the light reflecting of the plane not a hole. Getting a signal piece to cover the front took some work but being that it is a 4 stoke YS on glow trying to minimize the amount of seams to prevent fuel from creeping under the covering.

Sold a few things and need to ship them off to the new owner in Kentucky so I’m building a crate for them. Frame work is all ripped from a single 1x10. Cardboard will go on all sides and the bottom has a layer of foam on it. Need more cardboard and need to get everything wrapped up really nice and pretty in bubble wrap to keep it from moving.

1/4" luan isn't much heavier than cardboard and a lot more damage resistant. Not free though.

Yes I have some 1/4” luan scraps I’m gonna use on the inside in some areas. It will be interesting as the buyer wants it shipped grey hound and I have never done that before.

Found a cool 12VDC submersible pump suitable for oil, water, diesel and gas service on ebay for less than $15 shipped. Went and built a 5 gallon storage/transfer tank with it. No more spilling gas all over when trying to fill my mower and flight gear. No more lifting a heavy 5 gallon gas can. Using 1/2"ID poly tubing It moves about 3 gallons a minute! Found the bulkhead tank fittings on ebay too. Total cost to build Minus battery $32 .

Link is to the one I actually purchased. If you type in "12VDC Fuel Transfer Pump" in the ebay search window many others and types will show for your inspection. It is already making handling gasoline much easier for me.

Making some more progress on the ukulele. Frets installed on the fretboard and fretboard attached to the neck. Then I got the back glued on.

Very cool Mike. I do have a couple of questions... first, when you get the fuse glued on, what servos you gonna use for the tail group? It has a tail group right? And second question, Is this going to be electrified or are you thinking maybe a "dub" or a DA? Oh, dang... put a Kolm 50 single on there!!!
Looks great bro.
