I seen that. Next to the instant water mix. Great stuff.

Well, I tempted fate today and well, I don't know. got a bit of things glued up, nothing really exciting, not like the wheels. Going to start on the winders. Promptly dropped one twice, found it twice. Tried to glue it...marred it a bit, then it fell out and only the floor monster knows where it is. . . and he ain't talking.

Oh, my all in one printer, HP Officejet 8600 pro has apparently died. I guess it did not like the not-HP ink. Fun time in my house.

Right next to the relative bearing grease

And while you are at it could you bring back that 10 lb water hammer?

Finally found some digital film. Ebay had it.

Anyway, fuselage is ready to close, I guess. Windows are in for the most part, all the fiddlely stuff is stuffed in there. Those windows were fun. Super clear when you drop them. Finally got them in place and off the floor.

Oh, and before you ask....it is battle damage.

Wheels look a little better, camera adds 10 pounds.

She looks like it will be quite the tail sitter. No telling how much weight it will take to fix that.
