    Covering Contest/Pilot 40% 122" Extra 330SC

    I actually considered that. Two things stop me. One, I hate to paint and two, I wouldn't know the first thing about painting a wooden airplane.

    Very pretty. Definately not an average scheme.

    :laughing: hee hee hee....little does he know, I downloaded those very photos and a ton more along with them last night. :laughing: Unless all you guys start posting some really cool schemes, the favorite list is down to five now. Gotta git some covering. Really getting anxious to change the 330...

    Covering Contest/Pilot 40% 122" Extra 330SC

    I've been spending a lot... (A LOT) of time looking at images and searching and researching and...well, you all get the picture. (Pun intended) I just realized this MXS-R is none other than Brad Wursten's. How many of you knew that? I didn't.

    So, how is it that you are hooking your system up? Are you still using your high-tech radio? What receivers?

    Oh I absolutely agree. I covered a non acrobatic plane years ago. It was, hmm...let me think about this a sec. Oh yeah, I remember now. You all remember the Midwest Malibu trainer produced like 22 years ago? That was honestly my first bigger trainer. Covered it in all Monokote Metallic Teal and...

    Tanner, Have you used the X24 on anything yet? I am curious as to the compatibility with the Optima rx's.

    Covering Contest/Pilot 40% 122" Extra 330SC

    I like the Charcoal that Ultracote makes. It would look really good on the one scheme that was submitted. These along with white and red would look really good. So many choices.... But we're not done yet. Still looking at schemes. Come on everyone, get your entries in. I want to start...

    Yeah, like it has been here. That is "UNTIL" you are ready to go flying. Our forecast for the next two weeks? Clear and sunny M-F, cloudy with chance of rain Saturday and Sunday. M-F of next week, clear and sunny. Saturday and Sunday, cloudy with threat of rain. Someone doesn't want us to fly...

    So...the Monocote Pearls do not cover a wide enough range. However, the metallic choices are much more abundant. Then of course there are the Ultrakote choices....And Ultrakote "DOES" offer Pearls. Hmmmm!!!!

    Pilot 40% 330 Recover and Build

    A few more toys arrived today for the 330. The new rubber for the Airman Wheels along with the forgotten bearings for the same. So my "needed items" list is starting to dwindle down quite nicely. The big hurdle will have to wait until after Christmas. The kids, Grandsons and new Granddaughter...

    Covering Contest/Pilot 40% 122" Extra 330SC

    There is still plenty of time to get your photos and ideas in everyone. I am honestly thinking it will be shortly after the New Year when I plan to order covering. I have selected a couple of the ones already submitted that I really like. Not that this in any way, shape or form disqualifies the...

    No doubt the gent had a certain "chemistry" with his covering iron. A definite artistic skill I highly doubt I could reproduce.

    Covering Contest/Pilot 40% 122" Extra 330SC

    I would have to agree with your observation. I am almost feeling a challenge coming on. I will admit, the Monocote Pearls I have used in the past were amazingly pretty to say the least. Credit to the covering, not my application. I am not too certain I would want to have the rip outs on the...

    Covering Contest/Pilot 40% 122" Extra 330SC

    The only thing with this scheme is I would probably have to use Monokote covering. As many of you are aware, I prefer Ultracote. Unfortunately however Ultracote offers no metallic covering as does Monokote.

    Hmmm..... in your head, (Oh I don't even want to think about what goes on in there...probably something revolving around my red heads) do you see this scheme with checkers?
