A spur of the moment thing.

After flying last Saturday I finally got tired of the paint on the Nomad 4. The paint is sticky and peeling off the wings. It took severl hours to remove all the green, orange and blue paint from the fuselage and wings. Then the filling and sanding started. in between that I did some minor repairs to the frame work. Today I started with some white dope on the canopy and fin/rudder. When that cures I'll give the fuselage some dope paint. I've have several podium finishes and a pilots choice award with the plane. It's a good flyer and worth the effort to re paint it. I made another push rod as the original was too big around and just didn't look right.
