I may have said so before, but one of the fun things about reaching the completion stage of a project is counting the "lasts." I have already weleded the last weld, wired the last wire, stiched the last rib and so on.

Last week I painted the last Polyfiber product, white Polytone to form a base for the yellow Ranthane to come. It got up early when the air was still and the bugs were still sleeping so that I could use nature's paint booth. I will miss the sweet smell of PolySomething in the mornings Smile

I am in the process of masking for the swiss markings, then its off to the auto paint store where they have kindly said I can use their paint booth for the final coats.

The good news is that i will not be able to do that for three more weeks. Why good news? Because we are off to Switzerlad for two weeks where we will be taking in the scenery and visiting some Bucker friends along the way. I expect to return inspired and rested, ready for the final push towards that first flight. (In my dreams at least)
