Cold and windy.
I've got the planes flying pretty good finally. The new lightning is coming along. By removing the foam wing, building a new one and changing things as I went cut about 8 ounces off the final weight. I need some 3/16 balsa to make the flap leading edges with hinge pockets to complete the parts.I cut hinge pockets in the new wing and had to cut the hinges to remove the flaps from the old wing. Now I need to saw the cut hinges from the flaps and glue in the new pieces. The wing will be orange and the fuselage will be silver grey. The two cockpit openings make control adjustments easy. I will try X-O Rust paint on this one with a polyurethane clear.
