Mark,

Not all that shabby for aerosol cans. Gotta love those aerosol cans.

Weighs the same as my Pathfinder, 55 oz and change. 53" is the span of the ARGO.

I plan on building an ARGO II, which I believe will be much lighter than this one. 5 or 6 ounces possibly.

The CG is right on the money.

Thanks for the reply.

Glenn,

No one noticed the engine in the nose isn't suppose to be there. LL~

I pulled the Scorpion motor out and added beams plus a few other things to fit the OS LA .46.

I sold the motor and some collets.

I almost put the engine on it's side. I'm glad I kept it upright.

When did you build this plane, Charles?

Dick,

I probably took it for granted that "everyone" knew where this plane came from and how it developed.

There are many new members that may not know my work or this particular plane or even know the plight of Avaiojet, for that matter. LL~

Sooooooooooooo, Here's all or most of the links related to this plane. How it started, how it progressed, changes, more changes, and even more changes, LL~, and now the finished product.

You may want to read Post #134 at the "New American" Thread. It's informative.

http://stunthanger.com/smf/cfc-graphics/new-american-build/

"IC to "E" Thread.

http://stunthanger.com/smf/index.php/topic,34230.0.html

Might be another Thread or two here and there, related to the same plane. LL~

P.S.

There will be an ARGO II.

Ya gotta just love those Disney movies.

Now that you mentioned it, I never really noticed that scoop as a smile. Great observation. H^^

Be interesting, if the ARGO was a Disney character, what is he's smiling at?

"Patience."

Tom,

Yes, I replied to your comments on the "Ragtime." You must go take a look at what I said. #^

Yes again, I used the All American as a guide in designing the New American. Interesting reasons for that.

Yes, hey! three yes's in a row.

Yes, I used only aerosol cans, Krylon, for the entire model except, the airbrushing of the silver metalic around the canopy outline.

Aerosol can for the clear coat also. 2K Spray Max. I keep forgetting who told me about two part clear being in an aerosol can. Otherwise I would give credit. Rusty Rattlecan gets the trophy for convincing me to use aerosol cans. Hats off to Rusty. H^^

Yes, the finish is floorless. I'm kidding! LL~

So there. Now you know all my secrets, which BTW, I've talked about with tons of Threads and a few models. LL~

"There are no secrets!"

Tom,

PerttiMe,

I taped the plans to the SR All American to my wall.

Changed a few of the moments and I had The "New American" drawn on paper before I drew it in CAD for laser cutting.

I must say, it was a really big hit. LL~

I never liked it from the beginning and I made plenty of mistakes with it. Old heavy balsa from Balsa USA and the model was well overbuilt. Foolish 3/32 overdone wing sheeting and there's more but unnecessary to go into it.

IC to E, is where the changes came about. I actually gave those changes some thought.

You should view the Threads when you have a complete day with nothing to do. LL~

I like the ARGO. I will build a second, ARGO II.

With improvements and contest grade wood.

Thanks for the reply.

This product is 2K Spray Max. Sold by many retailers. Might want to shop for price.

Some auto body suppliers sell it also. Pay no shipping there.

Fred,

I just saw your reply to the ARGO.

Painted outside with aerosol cans, so the finish isn't perfect but I can live with it.

I wanted something really simple but different. I didn't want a scheme that looked like I copied it from some NASCAR or something I found on line.

The flag thing, that's been on my mind for years, decided to use it on this model.

I'll have international flags on the ARGO Series II also. I'm currently finishing the design and drawings of that model.

Thanks again for the kind reply.

What kind of tape do you use for masking ? That's been one of my biggest problems with trying to get a decent paint job...

Use 3 M fine line and a good quality masking paper tape.

"The Good, the Ugly and the "Bad.""

Bad,

Robert is right on the money. As always BTW. BW@

I use all 3M or this other brand for the dark blue plastic tape.

Dark blue for corners and the 3M green for straight lines and large corners.

1/8" and 1/4" are always my friend. Yellow high stick for masking where needed.

Gotta make sure yout paint sticks.

I do little masking for graphics because I sell vinyl graphics. I don't enter contests, but you can place at the NATS with graphics provided by CFC Graphics. A proven fact!

The ARGO. All those black stripes are vinyl. Don't tell anyone.

Jim,

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I've been raving about aerosol can finishes since I did the Flite Streak 007 Skyfall and the P-40.

Rattle can Rusty talked me into it and, I believe, but I could be wrong, it may have been Dennis Toth who used the 2K Spray Max on his El Diablo, and introduced this brand of high gloss clear to me.

For the kind of models I build, giving little thought to competing in contests, the finish is passible for outside spraying.

Rattle cans and this 2K clear, sprayed in a controled area, and the results would be much better.

Photos do wonders.

Thanks again for the reply.

Charles

All these models were painted with aerosol cans and the 2K Spray Max clear.

Wynn,

Just saw your reply, sorry I'm late in responding.

Thanks for the compliment.

"I choose my colors wisely." That's close to a line in an movie.

As far as details, I wanted a scheme that was really different and I have this thing for International flags, so I incorporated the flags into the design and the name.

This model came out a bit on the heavy side for it's size, all those construction changes.

I plan on doing better with the ARGO II, Casino Royale 007. That model will be lighter.

Here's the ARGO II, I have a Thread on the ARGO II.

Post by: Avaiojet on March 09, 2016, 07:11:02 AM: I ordered silk yesterday for the ARGO II from Dharma in CA. I've used their silk before.

Dharma's silk feels much thinner than the Sig Silk I have. The Sig silk I have says Heavy Duty? I never noticed that before. Unused because it's dark blue, I was saving it for a model with the exposed blue silk color.

Now I'm not sure I should use it because it's Heavy Duty?

I have the Gee Bee Z, almost ready for primer. The ARGO II is framed, almost ready for covering.

There's photos someplace, I'd have to look.

I have the Stuka Tank Buster almost ready for another color. I put a photo of that up today over at Paint and Finishing.

I have this other "thing" going, but it's in hiding, like the Mystery Ship. They kept that aircraft hidden.

Oh! Speaking of the Mystery Ship, I started mine. The wing is completed, There was a photo of that someplace.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Glenn, thanks for the reply, grab yourself a coffee and please do a bit of digging. D>K

Hey! Did you see the Luftwaffe Camo thread over at "Scale?" Take a look!
