KK,

I just applied packaging tape, rubbed it down so it stuck to the paint well and then removed it. Voila! One one blue piece of packaging tape and a 2" wide white strip of white foam on the airframe.

Repeat until entire airframe is bare. It took less than half an hour.

Now the pilot has some instruments we can go flying.

The instrument panel is a lamination of 3 layers of plastic card. The first is has the instrument stickers attached:

The next layer is thin clear to simulate the glass over the instruments, the final layer is the panel with the holes.

now all we need are some Stars n Bars

With good reasons:

* Me as the pilot
* Steve (the mid-air maniac) may be in the air at the same time
