I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

The Hellcat is a stock Guillows kit with no lighting done. This plane flew for a min on 3/16 rubber and flew nice and slow. scigs30, Comment for image # 15499 18 Dec 09 12:36 I think when I weighed it without paint was the same day I shrank the tissue and applied dope. Two days later I painted it, so it could have been the tissue, balsa dried out and that is why it was lighter. Years ago I painted with colored dope, but I really don't have a nice set up for that in my garage. So a couple of years ago I switched to acrylics to paint my plastic models. Now I paint my freelfight with acrylics. Goes on great and does not seem to add any real weight. John Cooper, Comment for image # 15499 18 Dec 09 11:44 Great paint job and great model - really quite amazing that you got it to 23 g with the kit wood. I have also noticed strange weight changes in my models. At leas,t in my case, it seams to be attributable to humidity. On a humid day tissue can really soak up water, so much that some of my smaller models don't fly well. jimbothehotdog, Comment for image # 15499 18 Dec 09 10:21 2 or 3 more coats of that paint and you'll have to tether her to the table :) Seriously, You may not be a big fan of painting but that's one great finish. TJH, Comment for image # 15499 18 Dec 09 07:40 Let me know where to get that "negative weight" paint :) scigs30, Comment for image # 15499 17 Dec 09 23:06 Yea, I am not a big fan of painting, and this paint does not add much weight. Here something funny, I weighed the plane before paint and it was 26 grams. After paint 23 grams. Go figure. BillParker, Comment for image # 15499 17 Dec 09 14:16 okay, so that paint is like one molecule thick, right? *G* I know how it pains you to put paint on an airplane... scigs30, Image # 15502 16 Dec 09 22:45 scigs30, Image # 15501 16 Dec 09 22:44 scigs30, Image # 15500 16 Dec 09 22:44 scigs30, Image # 15499 16 Dec 09 22:44 scigs30, Image # 15498 16 Dec 09 22:43 scigs30, Image # 15497 16 Dec 09 22:43 scigs30, Image # 15496 16 Dec 09 22:43 Build Thread, Page : [ 1 ]  2   3  (54 posts, 20 posts per page, 3 pages in total) [ Next > ]
