    Wing Strake Fences are done.
    I think that is as much as I am going with the details.Time to do a lot of filling and sanding.And shaping.
    Before I start the painting. Attached files [​IMG]

    It has a little more weight to it with the plywood swing arm.
    The plans call for a 300 sized brushless motor.I have moved up to a 400 sized to
    compensate for the extra weight.
    The AIM 54 missiles ,drop tanks, and chin pod are magnetic mounted
    so I can take them off before the first flight.
    I also have the foam version of the canopy .I am going to use it for the same reason.

    It sure is a great looking plane, awesome work.

    My father and my grandmother both worked on the Tomcat, so I was lucky enough to see them up close a few times as a kid. My grandmother knew one of the test pilots, so she was even able to coordinate a couple of low level flybys over her house one day. I've admired that plane ever since.

    Keep up the great work :doubleup:
