Re: SZD Cobra 17
Thanks Chris, it is a nice colour, but don't know if I would use it again, found out the hard way, that the base coat needs to be almost perfect, any slight change in colour shows through, no matter how much yellow you put on

I have recently discovered that white primer is an excellent base for yellow to combat the poor opacity

Today managed to have a successful maiden, had the C of G well forward for the first flight, by the end of the day, had removed 280grm from the nose,
back to where I thought the Cof G should be, better safe than sorry- Peter Balcombe

Nice, good to hear/see he flies well!!
Looking at the forward section, gives me the feel of a glider version of the Bell X-1

Re: SZD Cobra 17
Thanks for that, as for what's next, a rest and hopefully some flying, the Cobra was intended as a long term project, but the virus changed that, but at least
it gave me something to do during lockdown
