Comet Sailplane
Project
On Monday I finished putting the vinyl graphics
on the silk covered Sailplane wing. Cajun Graphics out of Utah cut the AMA
numbers using Amarillo USAF font and the Sailplane label using Script Bold
font. The graphics were allowed to dry for at 24 hours so they would set up
good. I took the picture below so you could see both of the graphics on the
wing.
This shows the completed and assembled Sailplane
nose down on the work table in the model room.
This shows the Sailplane just sitting on the work
table.
In an attempt to show the Sailplane's beautiful
internal structure, this picture was taken without the flash with the light
shining through from the back.

I began this project on October 31, 2008, and
finished it yesterday Monday, September 7, 2009. It has taken me just over
10 months to build this Sailplane and I am most pleased with the way it has
turned out. I have posted a total of 165 building reports along the way
showing every facet of the model's construction. However, I still have to go
through flight testing with it before I can say that I have a successful
Sailplane. Wish me luck...........................Tandy
