    Glassing and Painting techniques

    Nope.....just one coat and scraped off as much as I could before it started kicking off. There was a LOT of FG weave showing, but the JC filled it beautifully. I used 2oz glass as that's all i could find around here.

    Glassing and Painting techniques

    Figured I'd throw these here as well...Finished glassing the new single seater Raven canopy. Sanded a bit with 150 then applied lightweight joint compound and sanded again. It is now baby-butt smooth and ready for some primer. The joint compound only added 1 oz, which surprised me, but then...

    Putting the Scale back in Scale Aerobatics

    I would LOVE to see a scale torque roll done in RC....with the plane backing down vertically while rolling (with smoke of course). I don't think I've ever seen one done with an RC plane.....so Brian, there's your challenge to add to your scale freestyle!!!

    Scale 35% Krill Extra 330SC....CUSTOM-ARF!!!

    Thanks guys...yes it will look totally different and in my opinion the fuse has much better lines with the smaller canopy. Got the glass done....I'd shoot a pic but it really looks the same as the sheeted pic :oblong:. Won't get to work on it any more this week....just finished loading up the...

    Damn....and i thought packing up a trailer full of shop stuff was bad at -1 ....think I'll go put some shorts on :confused:

    Putting the Scale back in Scale Aerobatics

    All valid points Sweetpea....although there are some of us IMAC nuts who are into "Scale" as well. Yes, the Scale Masters, Nat's, Top Gun already exist...but I think this discussion (at least in my eyes) is for throwing out some ideas about possibly creating an additional area of interest...

    Putting the Scale back in Scale Aerobatics

    @Bartman ....the most significant difference is IAC judges the aircraft attitude (for most figures), not the track. Track is judged on level lines. Wind correction is done with crossbox maneuvers in the sequences, as crabbing or yawing to maintain track is downgraded.

    Putting the Scale back in Scale Aerobatics

    If this would take root, I'd surely have my Krill for an entry....but may have to refurbish this for actual flight status!!!
