Images below are from February 2011. The airframe is now in the process of being painted.

The tissue and dope was initially rubbed down lightly before application of the primer filler (orange paint). This was then rubbed and blemishes filled. Wet and dry (wet) was used for final rubbing down.

This is the first time for a while it has been assembled and weighs in at just under 12 lb and 14 oz. This will increase slightly depending on the centre of gravity and final paint/decals. Note image below does not show the glass and cockpit equipment etc.
