The Chocofly Avanti fuselage is repaired, spray painted, polished and the electronics installed. It’s now ready for the (re-)maiden flight. The yellow paint came out ok – it’s a standard acrylic car paint (spraycan) that’s not too far off the gelcoat yellow of the fuselage. I managed to nicely polish the newly painted part. Unfortunately, as expected, the transition to the “old” paint will always remain visible. I’ll have the upper side of the horizontal stab painted white to match the white wings when the Monerai heads off to the paintshop.

I hope to have the maiden flight in the next few weeks. Interesting will be to also fly my Avantihawk (which uses the same pair of wings) on the same day to see the difference in performance.
