The Big one is 100% Monokote, the Lil' one has a painted fuse and tail ( Lustrekote ) and Monokote wing. Yes, the little one is fast and will be even better when I get the tank height adjusted right y1

Thanks Mike. It is one of the easiest colors to cover with, handles very well. On the larger plane, I used Monokote solvent to put the little squares on instead of ironing- It really works a treat, should have tried it earlier!

There's no such thing as "too fast" with a Ringmaster y1

Post by: john e. holliday on February 20, 2017, 09:40:12 PM: Dave and I are flying at what is or I call Frisbee Park of Shawnee. It is off of K-7 and 43rd Street south of Bonner Springs KS. Was out today hoping to catch the turds that keep tearing up the grass. Too windy, so I ran the engines on a couple of planes that hadn't been flown for a while. Had to pull one engine as the needle valve would not turn and the extension kept popping off.
