    I think those ball filters that go on the end of the guns are garbage. Spend about $300 on a decent debilbis wall unit.

    Cool. I am assuming this will have foam core wings and stabs. I am wondering why most of the big name kits have gone this route while arf's are still built?

    That is a 3m papr unit. Real nice if you don't have super clean air from your compressor. The Iwata is my clear gun. Best one I have used to date(I have tried LOTS) 1.3 tip. The sata 4000 is a great base coat gun. It has a 1.4 tip.

    Jetpainter is right. Paint guns are all preference. I use sata and Iwata. Sata for primers and dealers and base coat, Iwata for clear. I use waterborne basecoat. It's not the best for home use. You need a lot of airflow to get it to dry or a lot of time. Older basecoat is nice. You don't wanna...

    Is it way to early in the process to ask what the price point is going to be? Just rough guess maybe

    Sure looks nice. That is a very lightweight looking motor box. Maybe scary light

    Got this here engine. now what?

    I just checked. Aeroworks has a 75cc extra or an 85cc yak. That motor would yank either of those around. It's a thumper.

    YA you probably do have 4 or 5 scratch builds going right now. I am still trying to get done my first kit!

    Got this here engine. now what?

    I had that motor on a hangar9 35% extra 260. It flew it really well with a 27x10th prop. I sold it to a friend of mine and he put it in a 33% yak and it has ridiculous power. Does aero works still make the 75cc extra?

    That's easy. You mix some black base coat in with some clear coat. And put on coats till you have the looks you want.

    And, I don't think primer adds as much weight as we would maybe think. I mean, we are sanding most of it off anyway. With my thunderbolt, I pretty much sanded the whole thing until I could just start to break through to the glass with 220, then I put one more nice coat of primer on it a little...

    YA, that stuff is laquor based, and it tends to shrink quite a bit. It's is only useful for pinholes.

    What resin wher you using? The zpoxy finishing resin is thin and easy to use. Minwax polyurethane is super thin. I used both methods on my thunderbolt. The resin has a more durable finish and more resistant to denying the balsa. The minwax is way quicker and easier to get applied. I am sure it...
