    Sunday Night: Today was cooler at 26C but the house is still hot and humid inside at around 29C...... The last couple of days have been a little more cloudy, but the sun still seems to shine most of the time and it was still in the lower 30's yesterday.....
     

    I have been getting on with the Pioneer 2 model, but more slowly, there's no hurry. I have found everything I need to complete it here do far except i need to buy some silver spary paint for the nose. The model is built now and all I have to do is to cover it and finish it with insignia and rigging wires and hook it all up with the controls.....



    So as to use only materials     I have available, I have decided on a WW1 Bulgarian insignia (black iron cross) the model will be white, with the open wood structure ans silver nose section. The model sort of resembles an Eindecker, so will look a little like a "real" plane....



    All up weight     is a little over 2lb, so far so good, looking forward to this.....
