How do people mask their planes when they paint? I'm looking for more efficient and better strategies.

I've used half a roll of tape painting my Thresher and a butt ton of scrap paper.

Selection of paint jobs there to feast on 👍

SPRAY
I first started using spray cans and masking tape, very quick way to get the job done however detail is difficult unless your prepared to cut the masking tape to shape first. Examples are the red and white striped f-15 & yellow Mig
Note I don’t use paper covering that all comes off, if you don’t prep the foam with minwax or 50/50 water and PVA glue Some rattle cans / spray paint will eat your newly built foam !!!
Sometimes for coverage I will spray first and finish detailing with a brush and some cheap acrylic paint from local arts n craft store.

Well THERE'S your problem. It's making a horrific sound. Some kind of terrifying rhythmic noise is emanating from your motor. I thought it was going to explode in an enormous fireball. Good thing with your quick thinking and lightning reflexes you were able to bring it to the ground in an emergency landing before that happened! Di you get any noise complaints from the neighbors? I wouldn't be surprised if the police showed up. Or representatives from the local church... That's a devil sound.
