well wasnt happy with the way the silver sides came out so I ripped them off and started over. So re did them and got the turtle deck done, Will have more time this week so I should be able to progress a bit faster.

rotorfan · 03-25-2012, 08:25 PM

Front deck. Might run a red stripe down the side to break up the silver.

rotorfan · 03-27-2012, 07:06 PM

Wow took me about 4 hrs. to draw, the template for the stripe cut it then trace and cut the ultrcote then apply the stripe, still need to remove a few bubbles, not totally satisfied but it will work.

Left side done along with stripe over turtle deck. Now just the bottom rear of fuse then onto the wing.

It's coming along very nicely...good looking plane, almost too pretty to fly!

rotorfan · 03-29-2012, 12:28 PM

Thanks memo. But she will fly

Maiden I figure will be about 2 weeks providing we get some decent weather here. Will be running full telemetry and smoke!

rotorfan · 04-01-2012, 07:10 PM

Started covering the wing. Stripes are on the bottom obviously,there will be some kind of red on the top just not sure yet. Dont think I will ever use silver again seems harder to work with than any other color I have used and very unforgiving.

rotorfan · 04-11-2012, 10:19 PM

Havent had much time lately, but got a bit more done today (top wing stripe).

rotorfan · 04-23-2012, 10:12 PM

Well back at it after a bit of a break due to family issues. Just gotta cover ailerons then I can start final assembly.

rotorfan · 04-26-2012, 11:25 AM

Ailerons covered and final assembly started.

rotorfan · 04-28-2012, 07:24 PM

Well ready to figure out were to put elecs. and smoke oil tank so it all balances,then I can install them along with all control rods, fuel lines etc. left bottom rear of fuse uncovered for now just in case I need to but battery back there to balance. Gettin close I dont think it looks to bad.

memosteve · 04-30-2012, 11:23 AM

Outstanding job! Plane looks fantastic!

rotorfan · 04-30-2012, 12:21 PM

Thanks memo.

rotorfan · 07-07-2012, 01:28 PM

been awhile but heres a vid of initial smoke test with macs pump less smoke system gonna adjust valve to open a bit more to allow more oil flow, ran out of fuel at end of vid.Bear with my videographer.
