I hadn't built a model in over a year. and since I flew my favorite plane into a shed this spring I finally decided a replacement was in order. Call it an early Christmas gift to me from me :)

What's it going to be, gas or electric? Looks cool I've been thinking of doing the same.

'lectric power. No mess to clean up after a flight.

Well, no fuel mess. There's always the time spent picking up the pieces of the recently deceased :cry:

should be about 17 oz with bats in ready to fly

One thing I do need is a covering scheme for this plane.

I know it's not an RV, but maybe an RV theme would be appropriate.

If you have any cool RV paint jobs I could copy post a picture.

Thanks Chad, I should've known to right click, then properties to get the address, but I was brain locking this morning :smash: The address doesn't come up when you just open the pictures :)

wow, that would look sweet.

But there is no way I have the coverning talent to pull that one off.

Think 3 color with a couple of angles or sweeps tops. :)

I've been slowly plugging away on both builds. The Model is seeing quicker results :roll:

I've smoked the canopy:

and I've started the covering job. The rudder was the first victim. thankfully, compared to the checkerboard of the rudder the rest of the plane should be fairly easy.

I worked on the F-14 Tomcat for about 10+ years. Here is my favorite video of a remote control Tomcat.

Is there a version of the movie without the top gun music? I'd like to hear the engines. Now THAT'S music!
