This started out as parts left-over from a Fancherized Twister, and the 1/2" piece of balsa I found stashed away. It uses a Pow Wow airfoil, that I whittled on, to make it taper in chord, and thickness from root to tip. Wingspan is 43-1/2 inches. Lew Woolard Fox .35 for power.
On to the paint and finish: The entire model is covered with white Ultracote, the red is SIG dope, and the blue is Krylon. The interesting part of this is that I used ConTact Shelf Paper for the masking of the colors and stars. It adhered well to the covering, and didn't allow paint to bleed under it. The number 11 masking had not been removed when I shot this picture, but they turned out fine, on both sides of the fuselage, in the red area. The plane is built without plans, other than the wing layout on my building table, and lines drawn on the wood. It should fly this weekend, or Monday, when the weather shapes up nicer. No purple on this one.
