Very smart looking. The white tail is quite unusual I assume it was to assist in the deck landing training?

I think thats right Chip :grin: , anyways she's all finished now, minus one tailwheel door that pinged out of my tweezers whilst trying to attach it :evil: and a few issues with the upper wing roundels not snuggling down well and needing a few paint touch-ups.
