Thank you for the kind words. All that work only to misalign the horizontal tail.

Finally done despite two major set backs. Regardless, roll out 18 July 2021. Rustoleum spray required acrylic wax coating. I found that lighter fluid/enamel paints greatly affected the finish.

Looks great Lou, nice shiny finish and the ribbing really looks effective, regards Paul J.

[lastvautour]

Thank you Paul. This one is special as I recall seeing one in either 1967 or 1968. I don't remember the actual markings as the "ARMY" designation was changed to Canadian Armed Forces in 1968.

Thank you Fraser. My earliest recollection has my cousin running down the lane hold a high wing model he had carved. I still see the prop spinning. He eventually gave it to me when I was around 7 or 8,

How many of us have taken a model for a walk😊. I always remember looking down at the airplane with one eye open to get the feeling I was fly along with it. Come to think of it, I still do that 🤪
