    3D Viper-ST 100-120cc scratch build......it continues!

    I think the next aerobatic plane I build, I will paint the whole thing. I have found some cool primers that I am going to experiment with over balsa, and the. Let sit in the sun and see how much it shrinks. A super thin coat of finishing glaze might be an option too. A glassed viper would be...

    IMAC Dalton 300 ml build thread.

    As long as you sand what you have there flat again(wet is better), the next paint job will be just as good. The method you use is a good one. 2 medium coats for coverage, and then one wet coat for the look you want. Stinks you have to do it again. But it will be worth it. You have spent a lot of...

    IMAC Dalton 300 ml build thread.

    I would unmask and remask your canopy too. If the paint dries with too much of a build at the tape line, you wont have a nice clean edge.

    IMAC Dalton 300 ml build thread.

    You can't blend or fade that color into your monokote. Too far off. Plus it just wouldn't work out. You could always go to a collision repair shop and ask if you can look through a paint chip book and pick a red that's close. That's what I would do. Then they would probably mix you a couple...

    IMAC Dalton Extra 260 35%...Back at it!

    Good thought. I have always had the vent exit in front of the tank too. I guess I didn't think about it. I could easily add a loop to it. I have noticed people not doing the loops lately

    Throttle works good too. I got 100% on low and high. I like to be more like 110% travel both ways. I just couldn't seem to get that

    This is what I came up with for the vent tube. Kinda boring I know

    Radio lockout

    Yep, same here. I had an issue with one older jr12 channel one that took a long time to bind, but that's it. Nevera problem once the bind happened. The dsmx stuff is pretty much instantaneous bind.

    I also glued in a servo box for my throttle servo. I am hoping to have the throttle working this evening.

    I got the fuel tank built and then I started running fuel lines. I am trying to come up with a neat looking vent line. Mounted the receiver as well

    I got all my servo extensions and some bonded washers and a couple other trinkets from Badbradgraphics today. That guy has fantastic service. I ordered on Monday and it showed today. $2 for shipping. Can't beat that with a stick. Back to work

    3D CAP 232-ST design / build / prototype

    You should have an inexperienced builder build one too. Maybe so u can know that it's dummy proof!! Hint hint. I will pitch in for some shipping.

    Da100L 3blade setup

    I found a used 25x12 mej that should be here soon. I will try to get the throttle setup this weekend to try to get a tach reading with the pipes.

    3D Fibertech Hyperlite Slick 540 Build Thread

    I love build threads. It seems like building is making a slow comeback. I will be watching you!

    Da100L 3blade setup

    Thanks guys! Unless the guys at da talk me out of the 25x12s, I think that's the winner. With the pipes I think I will have plenty of pull

    Still need to figure out a prop. I could just go with the 27x10th, but maybe the guys at da can point me in a good direction.

    The fuse is done!! I was planning on getting the elevators set up with servos, but my shop needed attention after covering. Looked like a tornado blew through an ultracote factory in here! Now that everything is tidy, I will start on Servos tomorrow. I will be ordering servo extensions tonight...
