Scott,
Nice, Thanks for the update.
And yes, but at least it is a mountain (singular), not a ridge of mountains!!!

Hi Scott,
For anyone planning to paint stripes on the fuselage a laser is very useful. We wanted stripes but the stringers, being curved, made it confusing to lay out the masking in a straight line. I think the laser cost about $20.00 to $30.00 and I mounted it on a camera tri-pod.

It's been a little slow on the forum so I thought I'd give you guys a status update. Today I put the very last tape on my Classic's fuselage. It's now completely covered and ready for the AirTech primer/filler. I'm pleased with the outcome and managed to keep the tapes on the many stringers nice and straight.
Regards,
Scott

Very nice job, Scott. Starting to look even more like the finished product.... She's developed her curves!
