Here is a Miss Dara I am almost done with. I have not found a number font/size/location that I am happy with...thus no numbers so far. It is a combination of ARF paint, single stage, basecoat/clearcoat and vinyl...its a long story. Call my wife for details.

Seeing Lee's Shark made me go looking for the only instructions that came with a Doug Brueshaber Q15 Shark , no step by step back then

CK,

Love the too sweet!!

Quick comment about the DARA servo tray..., I add my aileron servo doubler to top of the tray to raise the aileron servo up. This gives extra clearance for the aileron linkage. Having said that, you will still need to add stiffness to the tray across the bottom. Therefore it isn't too late to add some ply to the top.

Second note... Love the shut off. When I used the Paolo style mount the Allen Booth shut off still fits above the mount and allows for the same fuel line installation methodology.

Thanks for the tip Danny....I see what you are talking about. I'll raise aileron servo tonight.

I prefer the Allen booth cup, but didn't know if I had enough slack in the line to pull back into cup the way i routed it. I have setup a couple of Stregas like this. Hoping it will work!

Got a little bodywork done last night on the bottom seam. Will do top tonight, then ready for primer

I was just about to text you a question about rx mounting.....

Nice Lee. How were the test flights? I am assuming they went off without a hitch.

Testing was fine until the wind blew one of the wings off it’s stand and put a small chip in the trailing edge of the wing. Of course the chip is where all four colors intersect on the trailing edge.☹️ Other than that everything went well.
