I will try a blue aggressror scheme.

Is that the blues, gray, and white?

 

[Ricci]

Hi Ross,
yes white grey and Blue

 

[Ross]

I liked your idea on the control rods Ricci, very smooth movement now. Thanks

 

[Ricci]

Nice Ross,
I decided to clean um a little bit the wing base and Back with thin posterboard.




The bottom side of the wings will be covered with paper to get a smoother airfoil.

 

[Ricci]

I started building the leading edge and the rockets.
The leading edge is made of styropor.

Not finished yet, has to be sanded in shape.

Building the rocket.

 

[Ross]

Keep those ideas coming, excellent alterations.

 

[Ricci]

Thank you Ross. The Rockets will be removable and fixed with magnet. The Alpha weights now with servos and reciever 300 gramm. So the aditional weight will be not inportant. The paint will be very light because i use thin coats of Gunze paint aplied with airbrush.

 

[Ricci]

A little bit oversized but ok for the brgining. I will made two smaller later.

 

[Ricci]

Both difes finished. Now a little bit sandind to get in shape.

 

[Ross]

Nothing left to do but paint and crash it.. I loved building this one.

Christmas present for my father. Installed a 2205 2300kv red bottom motor (3s) and the sound of this thing is frightening

Had a lot of problems posting pictures last time so here is a link in case there are problems again: https://goo.gl/photos/fptikafK7Suu29Gm7

Looks nice. Is the bottom Black?

 

[Ross]

I like the black and yellow combo, I don't have any yellow planes so maybe this one gets a little. The GF hates yellow though.. LOL

 

[xMeox]

bottom is black yeah. Not the most creative paint job, but its the best color to keep track of orientation in air.
btw, this is the water-resistant stuff. For the yellow parts I used a white spray first.

 

[Ricci]

Started to paint.
You are right. The Cammo will not be good for orientation. I will paint the bottom without cammo and add signal orange surfaces to the bottom.

You are right !!

Ricci, what paint gun are you using and are they affordable. I've wanted one for a long time.

 

[Ricci]

Hi Ross, i have several spray guns. The cheapest costs about 50 $ and the most expensive is my Iwata that cost abaut 250$.
They all have a 0.3 mm nozzle. To small for RC but just right for my plastic models.
Top side mostly finished. Only the canopy windows in Black are to paint.
