The papillion is completely finished. All up weight came in at 142.6 g. Or right at 5 oz. My thanks to all that helped me out. I hope this is the closest it comes to any trees
. Doug, I think that the purple. Was worth the wait.

Thank you, SavageX89, I was trying to soften The rectangularity (it's a word, really) of the wing.

Haha! I hear ya. Turned out great! I bet some wing tips would go a long way to soften that rectangularity

You mean that you didn't fall for my "strings attached" photo? No, not yet. Conditions here have been nowhere near favorable. Today the wind was 30 mph with gusts near 60. Maybe I'll have to build another plane while I'm waiting for them to improve.
