    FT Toothless Sparrow

    Recently I have been trying to get my wife into my new hobby. I built us a couple of FT Sparrows and was contemplating a paint scheme. I was thinking stripes or simple patterns when she suggested something much cooler. Toothless, the nightfury dragon from the "How to train your dragon" movie...

    Hey all, I am using minwax for the first time on my Cessna build. I am wondering if poster board is to be minwaxed as well. I did a test run on a spare piece and it really soaked in quickly and made the poster board somewhat transparent. I want to use spray paint in the end. What are your...

    Paint Adhesion On Packing Tape

    Hell Guys and Gals, I use Rustoleum spray paint on my DTFB models but there is no adhesion to the taped parts. The paint can be pealed off like a separate layer of plastic. Has anyone found a solution that will not damage the foam board parts?

    Cross a BBv2 with a ugly stick =

    Sharpied my FT_Flyer - plane art

    I wanted to make my FT_Flyer less susceptible to wetness, so I decided to polyurethane the plane. Before doing that, however, I decorated it a bit to make the plane less plain and to help me see it's orientation better in flight. I didn't want to do simple stripes, though. This is what I came up...
