Hi BHb,

Thanks - she's getting there...!!

I know you all think I'm probably taking far too long over the painting (and I think Sam does too!!), but I know that when I say "the painting's finished", that's how she's gonna look for the next 20 years that I fly her. So, on that basis, I am making sure it is right. I also know what a critical eye some LAA rally goers will have in September....

Saying that, after a final coat tonight/tomorrow morning, I'm pretty much there.

She is back on her belly now, and below is pic' of each side. As with the wing, the curvy line was done pretty much by eye, with the help of a cardboard template.

I have decided that the less sticky Frog tape (the yellow one) is much better for this kind of work.
