Re: 6th SCALE TYPE 43 SKYLARK 3
The canopy interior will be sealed off when completed, so the interior needs to be painted and the bits and pieces inside well secured to avoid them coming loose after one of my landings...

No problem, Roger, let's hope she flies...! (Motley's wondering that, too)

Re: 6th SCALE TYPE 43 SKYLARK 3
The Skylark is completely covered with HK film, the only paint involved is brushed on inside the canopy.
Here are the stats:
Scale: 6th
Span: 3.05m
Wing section: HQ 35/12
A.U.W. 4.7lbs
Four Functions: Rudder, Elevator, Ailerons & Release
As a matter of historical interest, this is my 50th glider since I retired, less than 11 years ago...
