Almost finished. I installed the wings today and weighed the aircraft. It gained 16 lbs with the paint but still has plenty of useful load. The empty weight went from 713 lbs to 729 lbs and the gross weight is 1320 lbs. This allows 591 lbs useful load minus 120 lbs for a full load of fuel, which leaves 471 lbs for people and baggage.
Here it is just off the scales. It still needs the star and bars decals installed.
A view of the other side.
This shows the USAF painted on the right wing, The left wing will have a star and bars decal.
This shows the Air Training Command decal on the vertical stabilizer.
