Version 2 of Bushwacker Skin

[LundiThembi]

I put some shading on the wings and tail surfaces, fixed backwards text. Please note on the 11 x 17, the fuselage # on one side is backwards...duh! Fixed it and attached. Enjoy.

This has been ready for a while but I finally took her out for maiden flight tonight. The skins worked out great but this was my first time with full on skins and I made alot of mistakes and also over did it with the minwax. So she turned out a little heavy, but still flies good. I think I over did it with the white lights too lol. Great job on these skins @LundiThembi Thanks for sharing!

 

[LundiThembi]

Awesome!!!

Looks great with the lights!

Thank you so much for the pics!

Realised the the rudder is backwards!! Attached the correction.

Thanks, Stephen

Hey @Scotto how did you use minwax with the skins? When I used minwax it destroyed the super 77's bond

Well it kinda did in places for me too. On parts of it I did peel it off the next night after the minwax where it was really bad and sprayed it back down. I think it was worst at the seams where the minwax got under it. I had to just hold my nose and live with the reality that it will peel off easier now but not much worse than factory dtfb. I think next time maybe Ill do two really really thin coats after its all done. I did the minwax before assembling anything thinking that way water couldnt get to it under the tape and glue, but come to find out the tape and glue dont stick well to the minwaxed parts afterwards . Idk.
