This blog records the history of Building, Flying and Changing our Fly Baby. The plane is alive and well so this will be an ongoing story. The principals in this story are Ernest and Dennis Harbin. All the family and many friends participated in this adventure. Ernie and Dennis will both make comments in posts. We both saw all this through our own eyes and remember things differently, so you'll get our thoughts and memories.

Wing Lower Surfaces Painted
We had a beautiful warm dry day which allowed me to start painting the color on the wings. I decided, on the lower surfaces, to use Tuscon Cream with some Aluminum powder added to reasonably match the fuselage and tail. This seemed like I could get a good match without all the work. I added 4 Tablespoons of Aluminum Powder to a gallon of Poly-Tone. I like it but I should have added a lot more aluminum. It looked like a match until I painted it. If you look at the wing closest to the fuselage you can see I could have added a lot more aluminum. I never had good samples to match for this color so I'm leaving it even though I have enough Poly Tone to repaint everything. I'd rather get this done and back in the sky.
My next bit is to start on the markings. I need White under the Red and Blue.
