REFLECTOR: Almost ready to fly, again.

[Douglas Holub]

It's the same strut as the Cozy Mark IV's.  Yes, it kneels so that it's easy for my wife to get in and out.  Wilhelmson's electric nose lift.

  Doug, is that Cozy gear?  Is it a kneeler?

    My plane has been in dry dock for 3 years now while I painted it, moved the batteries from the nose to beneath the back seat, replaced one of the Plasma IIIs with a magneto, and other miscellaneous changes I wanted to make after flying in primer for 135 hours.  The plane is 2.5 hours from where I'm working now, so I haven't been able to spend as much time on it as I would have liked.  But this weekend I finally got the magneto all hooked up and taxied around for about 20 minutes to get the oil hot, and took some pictures.

    So here's a few pictures of my simple paint scheme.  The stripes are painted, not decals. There's a big blue stripe down the middle of the bottom of the fuselage as wide as the one on the nose gear.  I thought it might make the plane easier to spot from the ground. 

    I won't paint another airplane because I'm not very good at it.  But I wanted to try it.  There's a lot of orange peel.  But now it's sealed and protected with that cross linked yacht paint.
