The Wicked Witch of the East!!

Howdy y'all!  Well, after reading the post by Ken, I felt like a fish on a hook ... I was hooked and just had to see if I could build one.  Thanks to Outer Zone, I was able to download a plan, make my templates and begin cutting wood and "Voil'a" ... here she is!!  I used Testors Enamel paint for the base colors and sprayed a top coat using Rustoleum Clear Matte.  I mounted one of my Cox .020 that I had rebuilt and restored by EX Model Engines (awesome job too!) but the model was very tail heavy.  I really didn't want to add any additional weight to it so I opted to mount my old Golden Bee .049 and the C.G. was essentially spot on!!  I took it to the flying field for our groups "show and tell" and nearly everyone wanted to see it in the air, almost as much as I did.  Nevertheless, I opted not to fly it as yet because the instructions for the Rustoleum recommends 2-3 days.  So, to be on the safe side, I'll wait until next weekend.   Ken, thank you for the inspiration !!
