    IMAC JTEC/ Radiowave 3.1m competition series

    Well, I need to put the cowl, rudder and wing on tomorrow to mark where the colors start and end and where the stripes go, I get one in that condition.  The trim solvent is a magic bottle,  you know those annoying corners that the iron leaves behind when you melt an edge or corner,  cloth...

     The trim seal is my new favorite thing ! Does exactly what the bottle claims to, buy two !  Thats it.. both wings are done save decals and cutting the holes for servo wires and carbon tube !  Covering that is, still have install of servoes , wires, hardware, horns etc.

    Wondering if it would be easier for me to buy it here and try to send it to you if all else fails. Just an idea. Ill ask around to see if theres a match somewhere. Gotta be something close, maybe not perfect , perfect is better, but close.

    Should be working  LoL,  always time for clever banter regarding airplanes. Heres how I decided scheme would work for me, I can see it as clearly in b&w from same distance as color.not true for schemes I had selected in blue/red and even green/white. Secomd best color for me was black white and...

    Oh man, thats tragic. And fled the country, geez. What a .... theres too many expletives to use in this situation.  The  test is called a gray scale test.  Not mine I saw a pic of checkers in an eye doctors office and had to know.

    IMAC JTEC/ Radiowave 3.1m competition series

    Thats easy to decide,  make the patterns on a blank white paper in sharpie or from a "paint" file on computer. Set it against a blue sky and walk backwards until a  red or blue, 2-3" high number or letter in the center of  white area  blurs. Make a mark on the ground and try the next pattern...

    IMAC JTEC/ Radiowave 3.1m competition series

    Supposed to say, big JR  logo instead of Suzuki,  and the color for the fin checker would take off from the color on the stab, would flow very nice. Trend these days is to use dark color on bottom of plane, since it flies in shadow anyways, and to use the white on top, which reflectsheat better...

    IMAC JTEC/ Radiowave 3.1m competition series

    Heres what I see if I was doing a slick,big  red JR badging in   , black lettering on wing, thinner red stripe tapers to point instead of fatter at rudder, steal the big 4 square checks from the red bull tail and angle the wing root instead of curved , adds more white to scheme and keeps...

    IMAC JTEC/ Radiowave 3.1m competition series

    Best bet is jet white luster cote from monokote.. tower hobbies or any LHS.or google monokote ppg color codes if ya really want to get into it. Easier to use straight edge/razor at TE of wing ,LE of aileron,and leave hinge stock mono in place to recover. Leave 1/8 -1/4" of old covering to melt...
