    Sport JTEC RADIOWAVE 26% Pitts Model 12

    Kevin from Wingswest is an awesome painter, so I'm sure he knows his stuff. As for me I started working in a body shop when I was 15 and I'm 55 now. That a long time to be sniffing paint fumes. ;)

    Sport JTEC RADIOWAVE 26% Pitts Model 12

    A 2 part catalyzed primer is always better, but basecoat color is not usually too picky. If your not using a spray gun, Spray Max makes a spray can catalyzed filler primer. They are the same people that make the spray can catalyzed clear coat. http://www.spraymax.com/index.php?id=352&L=1

    Scale 25% Krier Kraft build, a tribute to grampa.

    I remembered I had a picture of the one RC City used to sell many years ago so I thought I would post it, then I saw they sold a Krier Kraft too! I think these might have been fiberglass fuse airplanes but I'm not sure. RC City sold fiberglass pattern plane kits. I'm not sure, but if these...

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    I took @Snoopy1 's idea and left the lower cylinder in place. What do you guy's think, is it enough opening? I think it will work, but I'm not sure. I'm hoping that after I paint all the spaces between the cylinders flat black and the jugs whatever I decide on that the lower jug won't look so...

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    The yellow is just tape to hold the plastic to the lite ply underneath, but those are the areas that get cut out.

    Sport JTEC RADIOWAVE 26% Pitts Model 12

    A white base coat can be very helpful on most colors, and an absolute necessity on yellow in my opinion. Most dark colors cover good over gray or dark gray primer. If you want to check your match before hand, make some small test panels and just clear those with any cheap spray can clear. The...

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    I used some styrene to build up the area I had to cut out for the ignition sensor so I would have a spot for the pushrod tubes for that cylinder. It worked out pretty well. I then used Goop to glue the plastic dummy to a piece of lite ply.

    Probably a little of both. I haven't decided exactly what colors everything is going to be quite yet, but I've been looking at a lot of pictures.

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    Making some slow progress on the dummy radial. Last night I got the positioning a tad better. I still need to raise it a little, but the depth is about right. I added most of the pushrod tubes, but I still need to make a piece for the two where the ignition sensor is. I got a little carried away...

    I even had to break out my angled Dremel head the other night for a tight drilling spot. I would have been lost without it.

    I don't think I'll have too much trouble getting those two on. I just need to add a small piece behind the spinner to hold them.

    Hopefully the new ones coming this summer will work correctly. The first batch released at the first of the year have all been recalled.

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    Well I have almost everything else finished up on the fuselage so it was time to start tackling the dummy radial. The biggest challenge is going to be the push rod tubes. Since the DA crank sensor is so big I had to cut out the spot that three of the tubes go to on the crankcase. I'll need to...
