    Sport JTEC RADIOWAVE 26% Pitts Model 12

    ????? Is there something you should be sharing with me regarding this? The only real issues I see at this point is first: It has a huge amount of glaze that will have to be sanded down. Otherwise, I can see it "fish eyeing". The other being getting my lines to match the fuse, (which shouldn't be...

    AH!! Well that explains it. Paint fumes. Hee hee I attempted a feeble attempt at automotive painting with an "ex's" dad many (MANY) years ago. I could tell after a very short time, it just wasn't my forte. It takes a different kind of special to be able to make paint look good. I just didn't...

    Dude...you do realize you're a genius right? I did my home work and research and talked to the guys at Wingswest and even KC Auto Paint. Know what they told me? Exactly and precisely, in complete succession word for word just what you said. Did you talk to them and tell them what to tell me...

    Sport JTEC RADIOWAVE 26% Pitts Model 12

    Ok, this seems pretty easy. Now for primer. Since this is a base coat paint and since I'll be using Max 2 clear, what would be the best primer? Believe it or not, anything I've painted using my conventional methods, has turned out pretty nice. But did not use any primer. Obviously I want to...

    Awesome. That helps ease my worries. Thanks so much. Two coats then? Oh yeah, one other thing. With other paints, I have applied the needed amount of coats to get the correct match I wanted. How do I know when enough paint is on to match the covering? This is all new territory for me. Sorry for...

    Agreed. He did email me just a few minutes ago. I had forgotten he mentioned the paint will need to be clear coated. As his paint is a base coat. Which is not a problem. I needed to find out what "clear" he suggested. He stated that any automotive paint store should have "MAX 2". Now the...

    Here is a little update everyone. FWIW, **** at wingswestrc is about the nicest guy and totally in jet mode. I sent him the Ultracote colors just a couple of days ago. He said he would need to order in the covering, do the matching formula and then make the paint. Just a couple of days ago mind...

    Scale 50cc Scratch Build From My Own Design Revisited

    Sorry I have not been keeping up to date on your build lately Doug. Just seems to be too many irons in the fires these days. She sure is looking purdy though. You gotz yerself some mad skills there brother. It looks amazing. In fact, you both have some mad skills. I feel very "not worthy". LOL

    Ummm, nope. Except for paint, (which is on the way) the Pitts is done. Then again, maybe I need a really big biplane, huh?

    Oh heck yeah it does. It's a definite privilege to watch your craftsmanship. No doubt your dad and granpa had a direct influence on that. Way to go!!!

    Interestingly enough, I was very impressed. The plane weighs way less than it should and it flies very well. Light, floaty and graceful when put through her paces. And though I'm loyal to 3w, the DA 150 did not miss a beat. More than enough power for that plane. It does seem to have considerably...

    The weather shaped up from chilly and wet to somewhat decent today so my son and I decided to hit the field for a few flights. The breeze was pretty stiff when we got there, but hey a little wind hurt no one right? Turns out Michael from Twin Falls showed up with his 40% DA 200 powered Bob...

    Just can't leave well enough alone can I? LOL. I didn't like the four slanted cooling vents I cut in the bottom of the cowl. I really think I should have only cut three or cut them smaller. Oh well, don't like something? Change it. And change it I did. It just so happens the .35 thousandths...
