  5 December 2011. This morning I woke up very early, and before leaving for work I was able to cover the fin and Rudder and the front bottom of the fuse (which is Orange in both the Bar Fli and the Mk. III). Apart from the top fuse now, […]

1 December 2011. Well, it was early in the morning, or late in the night of the 30th, but I couldn’t sleep and went downstairs and completed the horizontal stabilizer. I also covered the Fin and Rudder of the Mark III, but this is another project… Next post: December 3, […]

14 November 2011. I took the big roll of Modelspan and I sorted the colors. Luckily enough, I found 14 sheets of White, medium-heavy, and 7 sheets of Orange, medium-heavy. I’ll have more than enough for two Kwik-Flis. I’ll have to start with these two first, because I do not […]

3 November 2011. Today I eventually cut the fin and rudder pieces, and put them on the fuse. I also took some pictures… It really looks like a Kwik Fli Mk. II, now! I still have to work a little bit the ailerons area, to be sure that everything fits […]
