Marv was kind enough to upload some pictures on the LML database and if you would like to see it, try these URL's: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/bphotos/n360zr-1.jpg http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/bphotos/n360zr-2.jpg These guys took two months to get it done but I'm not complaining since they did an excellent job. FYI, total cost: $9,400.00 (I know, it was expensive, but I couldn't have done a better job myself...) This included a lot of body work, especially on the gear doors and cowling. Also, the entire plane was clearcoated and the shine is quite stunning! Not perfect, but close enough. Want a Grand Champion AC? IMHO, to get that little bit more percfection one would probably have to spend twice more time and money. Anyway, I need some tips and info. I heard somewhere that using regular automotive wax is a no-no due so static buildup or something? Please advice. What do you guys use to clean the bugs off upon landing? Which product should I use for washing and waxing? Thanks in advance. Rick Argente N360ZR http://ourworld.cs.com/ricargente PS Annual time already! I will write something up on my first annual inspection as soon as I'm done.... >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML website: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/maillist.html LML Builders' Bookstore: http://www.buildersbooks.com/lancair Please send your photos and drawings to marvkaye@olsusa.com. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
