A pickup truck bed is not an aircraft carrier.

Nice looking airplane. I was scared when you were behind the trees. I know that feeling all too well. Did you determine what caused the rx problem?

Nice job. Where did you get the single color sticker sheets? I tried spray painting plain white contact paper. Works ok but the adhesive backing is not very strong.
