    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    I have been a printing pressman for 40 years. I always had to mix ink to exactly match the product.

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    Maybe you can check with a local vinyl sign shop. I always go to one near me and they give me their scraps. The Scraps I get are big enough to cover a plane! I use them to make decals for my planes. They usually have lots of colours and some do match my covering. Sometimes they will cut a small...

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    Yes A gent a few years ago posted that he always does it on FG. He told me it works best on a unpainted cowl. Said you couldn't do it if the cowl was painted.

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    And that is where Monokote shines. I am going to try to use monokote to cover a cowl soon. I hear that its done and done well so I have to try it.

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    I give you credit for working with Ultracote. I recovered a plane for a friend using Ultracote and fought with it the entire time. Still prefer monocote.

    3D Vertigo build, any interest in a build?

    I would check the Badan website. I am sure that it could be bought separately.

    3D Vertigo build, any interest in a build?

    Starting to look like a plane. Saved a pound with the cut outs in the wing and ailerons. Both are still very stiff. Better than most ARFs.

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    I find it hardens the balsa in a slight way. Not as many iron dents.

    I admire the work you are doing. That plane will look beautiful when done.

    Magnus Effect Aeroplane...it shouldn't fly but it does!

    Kind of destroys the down wind stall! It kept the blades turning even down wind.

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    Thanks for that snoop, I also sand down to 600 and always wondered if it really made a difference. My good flying friend always laughed at me for doing that. He built beautiful scale planes and would sand to 150. I also use the hairspray, I do find it helps.

    Scale 1/3 Scale Extra 330L Build.

    Keep a spray bottle with water in it ready snoops, the small dents and sometime the larger dents will come out of balsa with a little spray of water.

    3D Vertigo build, any interest in a build?

    First wing done :) All the sanding was worth it! Turned out very good. I'm happy! Still have the final cutting of lightening cut outs to do but that will wait till I have the second wing at the same stage. It is not an easy kit for me to build, I guess I am more used to traditional builds of a...
