Almost done.

The rest of the decals came in this morning. I got them put on the plane and the black edge stripes. The nose was painted and needs a few days to cure before the clear coat.
 I found the tank on the first Nomad too small for the pattern. It only holds 3 3/4 ounces. I looked around and found one just like the one on the second Nomad and it holds a bit over 4 ounces. After cleaning and bending the tubes to the right shape I installed it on the plane. I flew it this morning and had plenty of fuel for the pattern and over 15 laps extra, which is good.
The weather is forecast to be windy and rain for Wed. and Thurs. so flying is done until the contest. I may be able to get in a flight or two in the morning as it's generally calmer then.
