Just located the correct font!!!!

Standard Brush Script, should be no problem. I think that removing the lettering as best I can, (thinner and paper towels) ould be the best plan. I may work on that tonight. I may have "Avaiojet" make me the mask i will need to apply the new lettering. I am hoping i can get the plane in silver this weekend. And work on the color mid week, next week.

So after a few days I have a pic to post. I've sprayed the repair areas in silver and have done quite a bit of sanding on the wings and fuselage. Things are looking nice. Also got some flying in Saturday with the good Mr. Johnny Recker. And today I had to move my workspace to the other side of the basement.

Doesn't look too bad.. I normally finish things to the 10 foot rule. But I must say, this might be a 20 footer...!!!

That looks a lot better than it did.  Amazing job as looking at the pics can't tell where damage was.  It looks great to me.  Hope it flies well for you.

Happy to say that the Paradigm flys great. Still working on prop sizes for the piped OS Max VF .40, so far the APC 11-3 is working the best. I'm gonna try a 11.5x4 this weekend. Also struggled with some overheating troubles, got that issue solved ( Thanks Tom Luper!!). 67' lines with line tension for days. And at 72 ounces the square corners look pretty good.

John,

I'm not sure your model is all that heavy. Compared to what?

You can always add a larger engine, possibly the OS LA .46? Not sure that engine will perform better than what you have?

I do know you did a excellent job bringing that model back to life.

Outstanding!

Charles,

  I think that it flies very nice, certainly beyond my capabilities!! I would also like to see how it behaves in wind. Our site that we fly at (HobbyPark, Winston-Salem NC) has some turbulence, certainly no worse than Lunken Field in Cinncinatti. And we do have to back up during loops to stay out the wake turbulence, but I have not had any days were the wind was a real issue. The plane feels like it has plenty of power and will go anywhere you point it in the circle. I am very pleased with the performance.
 
  I would like to thank everyone for the support and advice while repairing this plane!!

  Tony O.
