All I see is someone sitting next to a 500LB beast............................ and looking at it - I'm sure THAT's too heavy to fly Stunt with also...
Sound farmiliar ?

Yikes. Look at the size of the paws!

I am not a Peta nut, but except in self defense, it is a shame to kill a beautiful animal like that.

BTW Peta stands for People Eating Tasty Animals (per Ted Nugent)

I think a tiger will fly with a PA 75.

"I think a tiger will fly with a PA 75."......... or 2 or 3.

I want to see the finished product. As the guys on Fast 'n' Loud say, that plane is BadAss.

Derek Barry · « **Reply #108 on:** January 07, 2013, 05:16:19 AM »

I finally did more work on the plane.

Tom Niebuhr · « **Reply #109 on:** January 07, 2013, 06:36:18 AM »

Derek,
I thought that you were burned out. Looking forward to seeing what else will be on the bottom.

Nice to see you're back at it...
Very cool!!

Hey Little Buddy,

I am running out of vocabulary to express what I feel when I see your models. This one id totally awesome (as have been several of your recent builds!)

It is really fun to see what you do next, each time.

Now Derek, what was the deal that took out your "Matrix" and have you solved it on this outing. Looks to me like you are all over it.

When he flew it upright, then upside-down, all that was left was a diagonal bunch of ones.

Matt Colan · « **Reply #114 on:** January 07, 2013, 06:54:13 PM »

Really liking the silver on white! So far a cool bottom for sure!!

Ouch! Probably best to not use the words 'burned out' around the Barry family. Remember???

Tom Niebuhr · « **Reply #116 on:** January 08, 2013, 05:04:22 AM »

Oops, sorry.

Derek Barry · « **Reply #117 on:** January 08, 2013, 05:16:37 AM »

Its all good guys, most of those wounds have healed. Sometimes I remember something that was in the old shop and I miss it, but there is plenty of new stuff going on to keep me happy. I need to finish my niece's zebra striped plane....

The only problem with the Matrix is the weight. It flies ok but I wanted to build a lighter plane for this year.

It is always better build it light. Making it heavy 'after' is so easy. /smile/

I probably would be if I hadn't started what will be a 1-2 year home remodel project. I should have waited a couple more weeks to start it, I would be finished with the plane by now. I will have to take a break from the remodel and finish...

Finally did the blue swoosh on the flaps. I will be spraying clear in a few days if the weather permits.

Just the white/silver on the bottom then or?

Randy Powell · « **Reply #127 on:** February 04, 2013, 10:06:51 PM »

It's very cool but I still think it needs some black.

I agree that it could use some black, it would really POP against the bright colors. I am just at that point were you stand back and look at the plane and think...."it looks so good, if I add something that I don't like I would never be able to forgive myself.

Might add "Riff Raff Killer" to the bottom.

Avaiojet · « **Reply #131 on:** February 05, 2013, 09:36:12 AM »

You got enough models there, you could open a store.

The clear will make it pop!

Great job!

You gonna be okay, Doug?

Derek, do you ALWAYS have to show the rest of us up that badly? There's only one ship I have ever seen with a combination of unique color choices and design scheme that came close to this. And I ain't namin' it here! Wonderful job, very tasteful designing.

Randy Powell · « **Reply #134 on:** February 05, 2013, 05:51:00 PM »

I said it could use some black, not that it needed it. It looks very good right now.

Derek Barry · « **Reply #136 on:** February 06, 2013, 09:03:19 AM »

Just an update. I weighed it yesterday, plane, flaps, and elevators are 34 oz. All that is left is clear so we will see how much that puts on. I have used up 5.3 oz of my 10 oz finish prediction.

I don't think you should buff it out. Nah, just leave it like it is ok?
