the work begins
I have finally received the Rcskylite 60/120 pro oleos. They were shipped with no axles i can make some my self but that isn't the point i contacted RCSKYLITE and hopefully they will make it right.
I'll post some pics of those soon. Sad to say the T-28 still is in the box. I need to get all the parts I have on order. But I was dying to get going so I started on the pilots. I'm going to give them the same outfit. (Standard issue look) And just change up the features on each face. That will give them some originality. I really enjoy the painting . It's a great project. First I washed them in dish soap . 10%. then rinsed repeatedly and let the dry for a few days. The I scraped off any mold lines . I found the neck was really thin . I put a hole in the back of one of them. That I repaired with epoxy. Then a coat of light grey primer. I'm starting both faces with light skin tone. My plan is a tanned / sunburned pilot and a pale indoor type pilot. One in silver sun glasses one in black. I'm on the fence about the shade of the helmet. Black of white. I have seen both types of helmets. But that can be added later do for the moment they are white. Here are some pics of the work so far. |

Surf & fly
When is the big Mustang hitting the air? I want to be their giving my support. Yesterday was a great day of surfing my flying put me back in the hanger. The Mustang was great as always. The modified Mustang was yet another error on my part. You though ruled the speed with you power 10 Mustang my hat is off to you. I do believe though my surfing was outstanding. Oh well 1/2 a day was great the other ended in tragedy T the airfield. I have the speed up Mustang ready for another try. Thank the RC world for foam and glue!!
