My Vector is Finished too!!!!
« on: November 17, 2011, 08:56:54 PM »
following on from Pauls Vector being completed - here is my one.

final weight 38.8 oz (without battery)  49.38oz with battery on board ready to fly  -yeah its electric but dont hold that against me. n1 n1

all rattle can car paint over nitrate base .

Paint scheme designed on the fly - ie: I just changed it as I went.

Wynn that is really a beauty.  I like that paint scheme... very unique and sharp.  Do you mind telling me what brand of rattle can paint you used and did you clear coat it over the color?  If so what clear coat did you use?  Beautiful job Wynn.

I think that that paint scheme will look awesome in the sky. Kinda like a missile going over the top of the circle in a wingover. I dig it!

I think that you will like the effect that the dark tips give it in the air. ;D

These Vectors appear to multiplying like wabbits! And for good reason no doubt. Every one I've seen shows the designs stellar potential.
Good looking plane Wynn, tell us how she goes.

HI Mike,

Wynn said Duplicolor for the colors, but in case you do not know it, Dupli makes Lacquer AND Enamel touch up paints.  We want to use the lacquer since it is lighter.  Since it is Electric, the Duplicolor Clear lacquer can be used.  It really rubs out well!

Alan, you have probably seen the posts of some of my planes.  Yours surely can't be worse.  Post a pic and let us decide.

Alan,

You do just fine building and finishing!  It will be great to see what you have done recently.

We better keep a watch on Pat M., he's gonna have us all flying together somewhere!  (which is actually a good thing. ;D )

That is indeed my intent Bill! As for Alan having something worth posting, I think he is full of beans! Knowing him and his personality, I will bet anything he builds is is beautifull. #^
