I should have applied the silver trim Monokote strips to the wings before drawing the FlatCat logo.
Turns out, the trim covers up part of the design.
Can't fix it now...just have to live with it as is.
Is it just me, or does the cat in the logo seem to have sort of a smirk on its face that says, "You Idiot!"?
Here is the now completed glider, along with a serving of the 'Breakfast of Champions".
I probably should have drank that before starting on the markings and trim work!
Anyway, my senior moment aside, the model is now ready to take out to a convenient field and work on glide trimming. As can be seen in the above photos, I've already applied trim clay to set the glide CG at about wing midpoint.
Hi Ed,
ReplyDeleteGreat work on the top coloring. It looks like you used tissue.
I've had plenty of those "moments" where some trim got in the way. Usually it's some decal wrap that hit a launch lug. (You'd think the Estes or Quest designers would have seen that coming.)
Thankee! Can't wait to get this one in the air under rocket power.
