Hi There,

and




All servos fitted and so on... Ready to fly !
Just the paint need to be finished (not a lot to do..).

Hope to do a launch on sunday, or monday evening at last.

I will complete the test flight in France before Retroplane.

Thanks a mill Norman.
Like the red too ! Really vintage colors on a glider.

The glider is ready to fly. Just some paint touches to be done, but the priority is the first flight for the week end.
But the paint should be finish tonight. Just the masking.. lots of time !
6 hrs of masking for 15 mins of painting !

So, first launch this week end, weather permitting of course !
