Lol, I dunno bout teacher but thanks, everything I learned is from all these threads and building in the same shop as my friend dwdixon, just took to it all like a duck to water or more like a moth to a flame ! Im actually a first time giant scale builder and first year IMAC sportsman pilot, hell I've only been flying RC 3 years and some odd months, Like the tag says, just a FANATIC about all things IMAC.  Its an obsession.

Should be working  LoL,  always time for clever banter regarding airplanes. Heres how I decided scheme would work for me, I can see it as clearly in b&w from same distance as color.not true for schemes I had selected in blue/red and even green/white. Secomd best color for me was black white and pink/cream, for some reason my eyes dont pick up white as well as most, and I dont wear

I see where you are coming from, (LOL) Changing it to gray scale lets you see a better perspective of the plane on a cloudy day. My biggest problem is seeing the plane is when I do something like a shark tooth, when I come over the top I'm so high up I lose JUST the wings being level. Big part of that was that I was throttling back way to early and basically just flopping over the top. I'd get bent out of shape and have a hard time getting the wing back to level inverted.  

Plus I was flying a 30cc pilot Edge that really is not a big plane.

The guestion about the paint, reason I asked is that we can't buy lustercoat paint in Canada. I thought that they had stopped making it not realizing that the enviro-cops had banned it in Canada!! Hoping that I can order some from tower hobbies and that it can come across the border.

Wondering if it would be easier for me to buy it here and try to send it to you if all else fails. Just an idea. Ill ask around to see if theres a match somewhere. Gotta be something close, maybe not perfect , perfect is better, but close.

 The trim seal is my new favorite thing ! Does exactly what the bottle claims to, buy two ! 

Thats it.. both wings are done save decals and cutting the holes for servo wires and carbon tube !  Covering that is, still have install of servoes , wires, hardware, horns etc.
