Waiting to go flying.



  I brought the tree in this morning and cleaned up where a mouse was spotted yesterday. I'm filling and sanding on the Strega/A-36.The cockpit, cowl and bottom hatch cover is just about done.  I added the wing fillets and the tail pieces are waiting for the last minute to reduce hangar rash. Weight is up to 54 ounces. Maybe more as I didn't get the weight with the fillets. That leaves me some room for the paint. I made up a wing tip weight a few days ago, it's 1.3 ounces and not figured in yet. The rectangular holes in the fuselage side are engine cooling air vents, one on each side and a hole in the top block. The engine muffler has a support bolt hole at the back. Nice touch.
