I had a magnet come loose in the motor causing it to seize up. Too low, too slow and not fast enough reactions on this old pilot. Should receive the Ultracote tomorrow so I can finish it!

Again, sorry to see your edge beat up, but the good news is that you've moved into the motrolfly motor, which is just awesome on this plane... (as you know from flying mine)

Those stringers on the bottom of the forward section are problematic for me...since I rest the fuselage on PVC pipes, this area just forward of the LG is the natural place for it to rest. When I placed the fuselage wrong on the rack, these stringers cracked...the best place to rest the front of the fuselage is directly on former F1 where the cowl overlaps. Unfortunately, it is impossible to reach that area to repair the stringers without removing some covering! So for now, the stringers are cracked, and I'll just leave them that way. When I eventually get into that area, I will reinforce the bottom stringers with CF. You might want to consider doing that now before you put the covering back on.

Done! I'm not going to show you a closeup of the covering job, because it's kind of sucky. Yeah, I suck at covering! But here she is! Back from the kingdom of Hades!
