Been a while, but I'm making progress.  Decided to name my XL Lil'Hopper. It's got a Grasshopper theme anyhow. Finished painting the wings and have ailerons left to do, but I call this final assembly. Going to have the big debut at The Texas Legal Eagle Roundup!!!!

Congrats Frank it is outstanding.

I love the name, and I have a feeling it is going to fly as good as it looks...  Great job sir!

That looks really cool. What fabric and paint did you use for the fuse and wings?
