Thanks for the kind words, all ...

Jammer, mine weighs 2 pounds 10-5/8 ounces without clear coat or a recovery system. I'm going to rig two chutes, one for the airframe and a second with a bridle to bring the tower down horizontally. Another first for me there, and I'm open to suggestions. And I'll echo what others have said about the decals. I made my own using a cleaned up version of the lettering in George Gassaway's drawings for the "United States" on the airframe.

I'm tempted to do another at 1:20 scale, which would put it a little over 7-1/2 inches. If someone wants to do a bulk buy of .060 x .125 Evergreen strip, I'm in.
