    if the battery cut away in only on one side,  would a single row of batteries would show that it's full?...just fill in the cut away opening.   the fabrication looks great...I noticed that the bottom can't be seen through the cut away in the hull.  another thing to think about is how the batteries are serviced.  yea......I know.......with no openings in the bulkheads there's a lot to be considered here.....you've put so much into this model.

    I make rigging from 100% cotton, after twisting I paint with oil paint for art works (umber Leningradskaya - dark brown color). Until the paint is dry, I hang the ropes with the load so that they stretch out, and fix them from untwisting. After drying, the rigging does not stretch!

    Glad to hear it was not 19! Best wishes for a fast and complete recovery. You probably already know this, but I found sleeping in my recliner, helped to keep the lungs clearer, when I had the big P.

    Good to hear that you are doing better at least some of the time Kevin, and that you are negative for the virus. hopefully your lung will clear up quickly as well. I was hospitalized for about a week a few years ago for much the same thing and the complications it caused so I have an idea just how hard it can hit you. Take care of yourself and get well soon.

    Well I have not stopped working I seem to feel better later in the day so I have been working on props.What we have here is the kit prop,aftermarket which I do not care for and kit prop re-shaped.I think a little more shaping on the backside of the prop and it will be good to go still alittle fat.The after market props have defects in the face and are so frigg'in thin I can bend them so I cannot sand out the defects.The other problem if they go to rotate the blades will begin to move and flatten out possibly.I am about 50% through engine #2.
     
    So I paid $30 for some templates Kevin

    Tell them at the hospital that they need to get you well soon. You have an audience waiting breathlessly for not only your return but for further progress on the Mrs.Runyon.  Good luck and if you feel like it and can check in now and then please do. My prayers are with you in any case.

    I have built a Woody Joe Ship.  I love their kits.  I was wondering have you seen one of these.  It too was kitted from Japan.
    Imai 1/80 Susquehanna.  I purchased off of eBay for $280.00.  Years ago I built their smaller plastic version.
