Thanks Alan !  :D

All the hollow surfaces will be covered with Oratex "antic".
All the plywood is going to received a layer of varnish. And I should arrived at something like the first picture of the thread.
Education is important, but flying RC planes and gliders is importanter!

Hello there,
Well, the Opel project is almost finished ! Ready to fly !
Now, waiting for the good opportunity (next week end should be the good one), I can concentrate on all the small details... Cockpit, rocket pods, wires and so on.
And thanks again to Anthony for the lettering !

Well... I may have to change all my plans for the next month !..

Since this morning, I'm the proud father of a little Aoife !  :D  :D  :D
Tired now..
Baby and mother are well !

So, we'll see for this week end... If the weather is perfect for the Opel, I may take 1 hour to do the fly test...

You can send me a text if you are coming, and I'll let you know my plans.
