Motto…..Perfection is the enemy of completion.
Goal…. Build two Master Series aircraft that look great on the low pass (not necessarily close up) to take to Flitefest 2023. Also build one Bloody Baron that is combat ready on day one, with two Bloody Baron airframes with servos installed to fill in as needed, with a goal to participate in EVERY combat session during FF 2023.
Document the next 10 months of experimenting, flying and creating easy, repeatable steps for everyone that wants to build, fly and enjoy beautiful and affordable rc aircraft.
Short term goals is to use household items and box store house paints to airbrush awesome paint schemes. Create easy methods to incorporate homemade waterslide decals that uses standard inkjet printers. Create a personal, easy, airbrush gradient paint scheme to use on each model. Canopies that enhance and not take away from the look of the final airframe.
Use of items, tools and methods that are accessible to the beginner. I will endeavor to stay away from 3-D printed items, Calli Graphics or vinyl cutters.
It maybe naive..but I want to create a Master Series Spitfire for under $125. PNP without receiver or battery.
Follow along and contribute. I will spend multiple airframes and many hours in the hope that in the end I will inspire and encourage people to advance their building skills on a family budget.
This build thread will take us from the beginning of experimentation, to the packing list to Flitefest 2023. No experience necessary. Let me make the mistakes for you.
