Work on the Pitts has been going pretty well, with a few stumbles along the way. The work on the fuselage steel is pretty much done. I should be able to blast and coat all the metal pretty soon.
On the other hand, after looking at my current exhaust tunnel parts for a month or so, I realized it would drive me nuts if I didn't do a better job. I'm not worried about functionality, they would work fine. It's just that they look like crap. Sure it's on the bottom of the plane and most folks wouldn't notice unless they crawled underneath to look.
But I know better.
So following in a path well trod by Macwolf, I'm going at it again. Before I mangle up a couple more sheets of aluminum, I'm going to try something else first. It may be a dead end, but the idea is stuck in my head, so I'll have to see how it works out.
Here's the link to my site, so that I don't have to type it all up again.

Thanks,
