Those wheel pants and gear leg fairings really complete the look.

Yeah, and the unibrow looks better than I expected

Will be interesting to see how it does in flight test. Steve Wittman always cut back that section of the wing which gave both the Tailwind and Buttercup a unique look.

It’ll certainly be interesting. I have a set of buttercup plans tucked away, but can’t get myself to build one after the crash.

Which crash is that?

The wings came off & Earl (who made the plans) died.
