Thanks guys... I was fortunate to have a elevator on hand or I would be out a plane until a new elevator game in.

Nice

Lovely job Brian.

Damn those low shrubs, but what can you do? Fly a bit higher..... no way!!

Thanks Roger... If I wasn't flying low I probably would be on a hiatus again from RC. Since I started flying 3D just over 2 years ago I've been hooked and don't see myself getting out anytime soon. Its fun as long as I am improving and learning new stuff.

I went to home depot and the auto store to try to find a paint match for the Midnight blue ultrucote on the 60" Extra. It is the same color ultracote that is on the blue and white MXS. Couldn't find anything close... anyone have any luck with a match?

I just used some testors gloss dark blue on a new plane build, and I think it's a close match:

gary where do you get that from?
Problem is everything comes by air here and spray cans can't be shipped via air. Will check my hobby store next.

Small little paint bottle, bought it at hobby lobby:

I'm painting a repaired cowl, so it will have to be out of a spray can.

They make all the same colors in rattle cans:

You can get an inexpensive air brush which uses the small paint bottles - usually at the same store you get the paint (Hobby Lobby, etc) so you may not be limited to a spray can....

After trying the spray can last time with my 110 yak, I would gladly take the ease of the Testors, simply because I don't have a spray booth and for something that small the brush works well.
