Jeffyjeep, that looks great.
I finished my Estes Crusader, just had to wait for the Krylon Acryli Quick Pewter Gray to arrive. This was a fun build and cannot wait to fly her, I think the glider will do well. I kept the weight down by using 3 coats of Brodak sealer for grain free balsa, no fillers, no primer just shot light coats of Pewter gray. The balsa wood was pretty heavy making for a tail heavy glider. I did not glue the nose in until she was all painted and balanced out and some nose clay was needed. The test glide is pretty nice after she was balanced. The decals were old but no major issues, now onto the next build. Sorry about the pictures, I do not have my normal camera.
