Glassing and Painting techniques

No problem, fly it anyway. Good practice.

Well it is done painted and every thing installed the only thing I need to do, buy a reciever and it will be in the air. For this aeroplane is only 10 oz heavier than the one previously built with plastic covering and not fully sheeted. Not bad for a plane that is almost 1600 square inches.

Different to see a 4 stroke one what is usually a sheer speed plane powered by a screaming 2 stroke.

This not an all not speed demon it is quick. It is a retuned YS91 and will turn a 13-12 at just over 11000 rpm. With this plane I have found it will go reasonable fast but you can keep adding power but the speed does not get better.

I've seen Deltas with a Jett 60 or 90. Wow, they move fast.

Do not know if this is the right place if not let me know. Does anybody know a standard paint code numbers for the various Ultracoat covering colours. If it is known can we make a list please.

Go to ppg or DuPont store and let m match it perfectly . Every paint system is different / stay with same product through out your painting steps. If not you'll wish you did !!$$

Worth the money. You will curse using spray paint for multi colors if pulling tape Just my 2 cents
