The Shark 35 Profile is on the paint stand

[Mike Griffin]

I have no graphics on the plane yet and have not painted on the canopy but will post more pictures when I do.  I will post pricing for the kit in my VENDORS CORNER SECTION, Griffins Model Service.  The wing is Ultracote and the fuselage is Rustoleum.

Hi Doc.  First I hope you are feeling better and doing good.  As far as the Rustoleum, I have been using it for years and like the results I always get with it.  I do not own any spray equipment and for the type of finish I desire, it works fine.  I heat the can up with my heat gun before I shoot the model with it and that makes it flow really well and gives the finish a better shine when it dries.  I use very little dope anymore and only in certain areas.  Allen Brickhaus taught me how to fill balsa without using dope and like him, I use Ultracote on my wings.  I had to practice a bit but I have gotten pretty good at applying it.

Thank you for the compliment Doc.

I have been using Rustoleum products for a while now and they are tough as nails when cured. I warm it up with a pan of hot water so I can do other things while it warms. I sprayed my latest plane with original formula Rustoleum and the overspray made a mess of the floor unlike the 2X Rustoleum but the slow drying let the paint flow out smooth. First flight today.

Mike, How many flights you got on this baby now?

[Ken Burdick]

I let it dry a week but put a 2nd coat on and it reacted...need to strip it all off now.

I had quite a few until I crashed and totaled it,  It flew great,  Like a Shark should

What happened?

What happened was ME.  I went inverted and forgot down was up.  I crash them all eventually.

That is sad to hear a decent flying plane has crashed.   I have noticed the last time out I'm a little fuzzy on the control movements.   Think that is why I had to rebuild the booms on the canard which is flying better I think.  Better luck on your next plane.
