CPN | Guillows Series 500 - FW 190 | Parked | 02-Jul-10 04:37 | | Views : 1788 | It kills me that I painted the tail yellow. I have no idea what I was thinking. I just went ahead and did it and I'm too chicken to remask and repaint the whole thing. Oh well. |
CPN | Guillows Series 500 - FW 190 | Parked | 02-Jul-10 04:31 | | Views : 1579 | It weighs nearly a metric short ton now with all the dope, paint, decals, filler, etc on it but I am thinking about putting some hot-rod rubber motor in and flying it one more time just so I can say that it is a flying model. I know I am courting disaster but what the heck... |

CPN | Guillows Series 500 - FW 190 | Parked | 28-Jun-10 03:56 | | Views : 1480 | I went overboard with the painting. There are plenty of pictures of FW-190s with yellow tails on the internet, and there are plenty of pictures of planes with red theatre bands on the internet, (can you see where I am going with this?) but there are no pictures of FW-190s with yellow tails and red theatre bands on the internet. |

CPN | Guillows Series 500 - FW 190 | Parked | 28-Jun-10 03:49 | | Views : 1517 | As you can see from the enormous, grotesque horrible but very functional trim tabs, this model actually flew Sunday morning. The flights were not the kind of flights you post on youtube or that qualify you for nationals, but it flew reasonable well, if fast and straight. I had to add alot of lead to the nose and my noseblock leaves something to be desired, but it flew nice, level and straight for about 10 seconds. |
CPN | Guillows Series 500 - FW 190 | Parked | 22-Jun-10 18:50 | | Views : 1418 | All ready for the canopy and some airbrushing - but that will have to wait for the weekend. I am still planning on flying this butcher bird. Any ideas from the crowd on a prop / rubber combo? I'm on unknown ground on this one. |
