hiya all, have been pottering away for the last 2 months with a new build, she is at the stage now where it is time to start covering. The desiginer Peter Rake has done a fantastic job on her, especially considering it is not a type that he normally enjoys drawing up plans for. here is my build thread for anyone interested, http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1664316Cheers Craig

The problem with the World is stupidity. I'm not saying there should be a capital punishment for stupidity, but why don't we just take the safety labels off of everything and let the problem solve itself?

Cheers guys, i have narrowed it down to one of two schemes, or i like both though the red version will be better for orientation, and flying in low ight conditions Cheers Craig

Cheers all, it is a bit of a shame to cover up such a beautifully designed plane but they don't fly too well otherwise hopefully i can do the designer Peter Rake some justice with the end result. I will be sure to post the maiden vid when the time arises, good or otherwise i have spent the last 2 months getting to this stage and should be ready to go in the next few months all going to plan! Cheers Craig

Cheers mate, slowly getting there. most of the covering is done apart from the top wing which i am still messing about making up my servo leads for. while waiting for my pins and plugs to turn up i have started painting the fuse, well got the base colours down anyhow Craig

You'll love that Red when it's up in the air, looks like that grey is about the same color as the sky.

Yes, but tell us about that car! It appears to be a 'ute. The modern Australian equivalent to the El Camino.
Who wants a fixed wing aircraft, when you can have one that wasn't broken?

Yes, but tell us about that car! Heya Joe, Greyrider is correct, it is a ute. it is my old ford falcon ute, a 2000 model, 4L six cyl, auto, has been a great old bus, never given me an ounce of trouble. doesn't get used much these days apart from being loaded up with planes when i go flying, always handy to have around though for carting around larger items. over here every man and his dog has or has had a ute at some stage with Ford and Holden producing a large range from basic work models to 500bhp sports jobbies. Cheers all Craig

on the home stretch now, finished painting the markings,and vacforming the exhaust outlets yesterday, just the little details to go. yeah the red might be a bit bright, but the only reference material out there for this scheme is artists interpretations anyway and they are all different, so short of a genuine colour photo turning up we may never really know what the real shade was Craig
