Hey @Houndpup Rc @Patriot Rc how do you paint when there is snow?
We do it out side let it set (and let most of the fumes dissipate) and then bring it into our basement to finish curing. You don't want to leave it out too long otherwise you will get a cracked surface. I don't know what happen with my nnspit with this last paint job, the paint is very gritty not glossy. but my bothers mini scout painted fine so its not too cold.

I'm not sure why @Houndpup Rc s nnspit paint did that, I only had that once.

Yup! I will ask my brother too give you what he does later. He's better at painting than I am.😉
I just paint it outside and let it dry (I have let it sit outside all day and it still dries) for about 2 hours then I bring it in to the basement. I think the paint that @Houndpup Rc uses is more sensitive to the cold then the stuff I use.

I think it might have been because I am using maker foam and am stilling (Its different for painting I find)

Here’s my Grifflyer hotliner motor and prop. It’s a 3536 motor, and a 9.75x7.5 folding prop from a radian.

Nice! looks powerful! about the size of mt 3536 powerdrive. (My brothers 3548 is even bigger! It just man handled that 10x10 prop without even getting warm!)

Because @Houndpup Rc Built the 800 nnspit, I've decided to build the normal FT Spitfire, clipped wings of course and upgraded spar. I'm also changing it cause I'm running out of time!
