Bright is Sight, I had a guy say that to me once, I'm sure whatever you do it will look great, having never covered before it looks like you did a fine job on the fuse. Look forward to seeing the finished product :)

When I get back home off of this shift, I'll gather some pics of my brothers Ninja and hopefully get them on this thread. FF

The covering looks lovely in static display, very impressive. :clap:

Thinking about the extra weights, surely those weights were going in the nose not the tail, weren’t they? :?:

CORRECTION,  Still learning to renavigate this picture thing on this forum.  You are right, I double checked and that is the nose that the weights are in :oops:
  :oops:  :oops:  :oops:

I guess I looked too quickly at the photo and assumed that's where the horizontal sat :clap:  :clap:

Anyway here's one more pic of it lit up at night I mislabled some of the above pics
All lit up and ready for night attack :) FF

Keith,
Yep, you're absolutely right, nose weight, nose weight, nose weight. Looked like a goodly amount too. :shock: The plane flies beautifully, like it's on rails.

Hi Tracy,

Fantastic job on the covering!  :clap:  :clap:
And it's all hand cut on top of that!!  :clap:

And I get lazy cutting some registration letters!  :oops:  :oops:
Education is important, but flying RC planes and gliders is importanter!

Fred,
 
I wish I could say that I was the one that did the covering, it's my brothers plane he did the work, and yes he does a fine job on the covering :clap:

Hey Antonio, Have you had your first flight with the Ninja yet?

We’d all like to see a full report please,……with pictures! 8)

I’m waiting with baited breath to hear all about it. :D
