I purchased a used F3b airplane from a fellow RC Groups member recently.

When the plane arrived,there was old strapping tape holding the ailerons and flaps in place.The tape was old enough to have yellowed and cracked.When I pulled it off,the cello came off ,but not the straps.

After lots of sanding,and a few minor repairs(example,one of the control horns had broken,the elevator pushrod was not attached),it was time for paint.

Doing a few mental gymnastics,I came up with this paint scheme.She's still waiting on servos,and tail trim paint,but I'm pleased with the result.
