Thanks to everyone who provided suggestions on my "Definitive List of Gentle Lady Mod's" post.

Here's the result:

42" of future RC pilot holding up 78" of classic balsa.

Mod's to this plane include:

3 piece wing with CF joiners
Top LE sheeting extended to first bay of tip panels
Turbulator strips on tip panel LE's
Beefed up spar for winch launching and airfoil retention tip to tip
Center sheeting expanded to classic "curved" shape
Yes, those are custom chrome fins on the wing tips (Hey, it's a classic)
Spoilers built, but not cut in for now
Fuse is covered with tinted water-based polyurethane over .75 oz glass

After a record setting heat wave in Seattle, we are back to clouds and rain, so we may not get a first flight in this weekend.

The plane is for some teenagers that hang around my house, but the little blonde girl is not far behind. Anyone ever taught a 5 year old to fly?

We're looking forward to some field time on Sunday if the weather returns to normal (although we could sure use the rain).

The build was enjoyable. I trust the flying will be as well.
