Default End of week 1

The painter called me on Saturday night to say he finished all the fiberglass parts up through primer. That is outstanding!

With luck, he will finish priming the plane this week and might even get the base white coat down.

Default End of week 2

My painter, Gene Masson, sent me a note that he was starting to "shoot paint" on Friday. That is FAST!

He is going to post pictures on FB this weekend.

Sure enough, he posted pictures on FB.

I can't wait to see how the stripes on the side come out.

Default Week 3

It looks like I may have to pick up the plane on Saturday. Oh bummer!

Three weeks and it is ready to pick up. Man, that was FAST!

Default Here's what three weeks will get ya!

This is one of the best paint jobs I've seen. Call it a 6 to 12" paint job!




I'm testing props for Catto so the color doesn't match exactly. A new one was waiting for me when I returned home this afternoon with red tips.
