Have you played with the split ailerons very much? Do you do it just to eliminate binding? or maybe some crazy mixes

Actually binding was never an issue, really really fun to play with flaps and crow. It also does amazing IMAC flying with just the outter ailerons functioning. It fly's at a crawl with the flaps down, this was the maiden, since then I wen't to 75% flaps with very little mixing:

Yea, the black pinstripe was too much but the silver looks like just enough to offset the edge between the green and white:

I decided to go down and get the rest of the pinstripe done, then covered the SFG's. Now I am really done with covering. Graphics will be a bit from B&E, I order a ton of stuff from them.

Depends a lot on which type of covering you use. I use ultracote and used to do it your way, but found it much better to carefully tack the corners and around the edges while pulling the covering tight. Then seal down three sides and start from one closed end with a heat gun and a glove. After the covering is applied then I chase it with an iron set at about 340 or so to finish sealing. It works, and it's simple.


I wish!!

Remember, only a couple days left to save a bunch of cash on a Viper kit!!!!!
Fair warning to all! Get your Kits ordered while they are on sale! You will not regret buying one of these! Mine is ready and will start being assembled soon!
