More planes

I didn't have a plane for the clasic event and I didn't want to build one that was too complicated or big. I found one that should fit the bill called "Peacemaker". I started building it and then the El Dorado contest came up and at the raffle I got a kit of the J.D. Falcon. Not too complicated but on the large size, the same size as my others. Again legal to use in the classic event. I started building it even though it didn't have the instruction booklet. My plan is to get both planes up to the same build sequence spot so I can work on both at the same time. I need to fill and sand the Peacemaker and put a couple more coats of clear dope on the Falcon wing then install it into the fuselage. That will bring both planes to the same build place. I've been having run issues with my engines and after much trouble shooting it seems that the fuel needed some Armor-All to stop fuel foaming. Now if the rains will slack off so the grass can be mowed I will be happy.
