Thank you kind sir. I got to use my new covering irons. Still getting used to them as they are way different than my old ones but me like so far.

I'm sorry if I came across as a b-hole. I didn't meant too.

I've just been in love with the plane for so long I forget not everybody has been.

It should. That's what I was going for.

Awesome. Just make sure you give them ample time to settle between temp adjustments and always check the temp of the iron(s) with your temp gun. I usually check mine in several places too. Like back, middle and tip of the shoe. That's where the laser temp gun really comes in handy. if there's a hot spot on the iron it will find it.

Yup I was checking it regularly. Only two things I don't like about it. One the head is at a different angle than my old one (I will get used to that) and the very tip of the iron doesn't seem to get as hot as the rest. Prolly no big deal on that as what I used to use the tip of the iron for I will now use the trim iron for.

I finally got my Align Trex 550 canopy painted this week. The scheme isn't what I originally planed, it kind of changed on the fly.
