Midwest Aerostar - 40. Finished in 2004. My first build from a wheel chair, hence the logo on the side of the fuse.
Covered in Polyspan and coated in Brodak's dope. All the finishes were sprayed with a touch-up gun and airbrushes.
Irvine 53 glow for go.

"Talon" sailplane by Kevin J McDonald and Bruce Lewis from Bob Martin RC Models kit originally.
The model was pretty much a wreck when I got it. Worked on and off for about two months, finished it in May of 2020.
The empennage is not stock but is an airfoil shaped foam, covered in 1/16" balsa.
Fuse was glassed and painted with rattle cans. The wings were covered in Polyspan with Nitrate Dope to seal the weave and Butyrate for color and clear.
