Paint job
First, let's do the canopy. Cut canopy from template and transfer it to any type of self adhesive covering you gave. I had blue one that fits just nice. Make sure that you cut mirrored canopy for the right side the other side
Let's continue by marking parts that will be painted with masking tape.
I have decided that I will paint only leading edges of the wing, wingtips and vertical stabilizer tip.
The best result you can achieve is by using paint roller.
Paint used is water based red paint. You can use any water based paint for making your airplane look nice.
You will need 2 layers of paint. Since this is water based paint, it dries pretty quick. Second layer can be applied after 30 minutes.
30 minutes after putting second layer of paint, remove the masking tape and your model is ready to dominate the sky.

Maiden flight
Well, there is not much to say about this, I was waiting for weather to calm down a little.
Finally, sun came out and I have prepared to record maiden flight.
It was a windy day, but this model can manage that.
I had great help from friend of mine who flies mini quad racers, and he recorded great video by chasing me in the air.
Enough talking, just watch the video.
