    A great kit that was a little bit slow in being recognized, for what it was when it first hit the market. Have built one, have a second nearly finished.

    Flaps on in the up position with Pledge and tape to hold them, took the tape off, sprayed a coat of satin and the area where the tape was showed up, then it's looking fine now it's dried !

    Great progress indeed, Allan @kalamazoo
    I was not aware that Pledge is this strong once dried.

    Pledge is reasonably strong but usually breaks before the fragile part does, decals and a few more details on with Pledge, calling this finished now, thanks to all who followed along, also added to my aerobatic group.
