Very Cool. Tell Damarel I said hey!
-
Man that is one nice ride.
-
Jim did an awesome job on that one! I hope I can see it fly sometime at the contests!
How does the Retro work on it?
-
I like it. well, the original was red and chartreuse. I suppose the colors work.
-
Jimmy done good. Chartruese is an acquired taste, but I like that scheme.

The color can look pretty good, if you recall Dorothy Hammel in the Olympics.

That looks so nice, hope it flies as well as it looks. H^^

Is this the "Bill Simons" Shoestring, (the red one) that I remember, or a new Shoestring.

The original post said it was a RSM Shoestring, which is a Bob Whitely design. (Although I think I remember reading somewhere that Bob W. based the design off of Bob Hunt's Saturn.)
Edit: Yep - read it here: http://stunthanger.com/smf/index.php?topic=8156.msg70329#msg70329

What I would really like is a 40 sized Shoestring. Would I be better off scaling up a Goldberg Shoestring, or scaling down a RSM Shoestring?

Love it!!! I like the green...
What is auto air waterbase paint?
-
AutoAir is a water borne paint used by artists and car painters. I used their base coat sealer (White) and mixed the chartruse from yellow and green, 10:1. Check out www.autoaircolors.com, they have more info and pictures than I can list.

Jim,
Great looking airplane, if you like the color.
I hope that you don't wear matching clothes.
-
Tom,
Live with it! At least it's got wheel pants.
Jim D. S?P
-
I too like the color. Glad Tom didn't see my Olympic. H^^
-
Yep, the wheel pants are great.
But... Jimmy wearing Chartruese would be a sight that would out do Lampione!
-
With all the discussion of the colour, is that more green than it should be?
I seem to recall that the paint used on the original was a standard Cadillac colour. Also, I think the instruction sheet for the Goldberg model says that a close approximation of the actual colour is 7 parts Cub Yellow and 1 part a green that I cannot remember.
Anybody have a Goldberg kit that they can check for us? I didn't scan the instructions after I finished with the Goldberg kits some years ago. HB~>
Cheers

For a .40 sized version, consider using a Cavalier wing...
W.
-
Ward, not that I want to argue but given that the scale wing is Aspect Ratio 5.49 with straight lines for the LE and TE and simple radii at the tips, I don't understand why people mess about with compound radius tips.
It seems to me that the scale wing is close to ideal.
Cheers, Geoff
-
I got an old set of Goldberg instructions right here. It says Chartreuse (mix 8 parts cub yellow with 1 part cessna green) . Painted mine that way and I liked it. The original was painted a Cadillac factory chartreuse (1956) I think. Not an exact match to the Goldberg formula but close.
-
I shouldn't say this I suppose, but that has never stopped e yet. Who says it has to be scale colors? Of all the CG Shoestrings I have built, (six at one session) none have ever been the scale color. The plane looks great to me. #^ #^ #^ #^ S?P H^^
-
I like it. The colors do work, particularly if you've owned a Kawasaki motocrosser..
Water based paint, I like that idea..
