    Scale MattyMatt's Exclusiv Modellbau 50% Challenger II

    The fiberglass parts were primed with the 2k primer. The solartex parts were just sprayed with the Nason black single stage. No primer.

    I'm not sure what coverite 2k is... Are you asking if I primed the solartex?

    Thanks... No clear coat. It was single stage in the full scale with vinyl over it. I'm doing the same.

    A few pics of the vinyl going on.

    Yes, and it works perfectly. There is dental gauze in the bottle, and 3/16" holes drilled in the cap to let the air out.

    I've been busy at work and pounding away at the challenger. I'll post some updates... The last thing I worked on today is the canopy. I hate canopies. Lol. Magnets and clamps with Forumula 560.

    IMAC Delro Raven 3.1M build

    You will need to use the Pull Pull... the nose is fairly short to the CG, vs the tail moment. Pull Pull for the CG.

    I'm surprised the Valach 210 would turn the Fiala 34X14 3 blade. Very cool.

    Scale 50% Christen Eagle full scale exclusiv-kit

    Because most of the Ultimates people fly in RC aren't scale. Also, the eagle in particular has "barn door" ailerons, similar to the S1, they are only towards the end of the wing... they are very speed dependent on their effectiveness. Will it hover... sure. But it will not harrier roll, due...

    Scale MattyMatt's Exclusiv Modellbau 50% Challenger II

    Thanks... its getting there. It is the extra oil catch can. I may have to lower it depending on how it evacuates out of the engine case. These run at 30:1 Oil to Gas.... lots of oil, and it has to go somewhere.

    Scale 50% Christen Eagle full scale exclusiv-kit

    31 is pretty slow. Remember, this is not a 3D machine either. It is a scale plane, with scale surfaces. Also, today's rate which is remarkably cheap for $ to Euro; the basic kit would be about $7600 + shipping. Then $3000 for the Valach and exhaust, $2000 for radio gear and batteries, plus...

    Scale MattyMatt's Exclusiv Modellbau 50% Challenger II

    Thanks... Borrowed a great idea for the hinges! I just have to shape them a bit and it's ready for paint. With the challenger and th eagle, it is important to be able to get the canopy off, as there are no other hatches, it's the only way to get to the equipment. So with this setup, I can...
