The little canopy finished up :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I mount a little block of balsa with the top sanded to somewhat match the inner pilot, and hot glue the pilot to that. The plastic is secured with tiny rivet like hex head bolts.

I pretty much copied the original colors again this time, although I did a lot closer job on this one. Its a decent job, even for me :?

Heres a few detail pics..

And pretty much ready to roll. :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I ran the motor, and unfortunately the bearings are :obscene-tolietpush: So, ime either gonna have to rebuild it or figure out another motor.

Anyways, here are some yard shots of it all wrapped up!

Thanks Mickey, I appreciate that.

No, I don't know yet on the motor. Not so sure I want to put money into a glow motor rebuild either, to be honest. So I am at a stand still for a minute on that.
