Thanks Jim.... not to mention that you have a beautiful Lindy winner yourself. I'm not gonna take Jon's advice this time, although I think he means well. Dave D

Hi Jay, Thanks for posting this. It is pure gold for the new guys. Ben Wilson

You are correct. The CS supports should all mount against the wing, not the bulkhead. I suggest you rebuild those mounts and mount them per plans to the wing shear web. Cheers, Jay

Jon and Charlie, You’re dealing with a 2004 Lindy Winner here. No murals on the bottom please. Dave whatever you do will be top shelf. Jim N46JP -Q200 Flying Airplane!

Good on ya Dave! Glad you are getting time with your Q! Blessings! Bruce

Good one Jon

Jon, Right you are my plane has many shades of white. I like the oil patina idea.

Dave, Don't listen to him! Jim probably doesn't understand that is better not to use matching paint. If none of it matches, people believe that it is by design. Much, much easier to manage
