I shot the clear
« on: March 07, 2013, 05:12:39 PM »
I missed my target weight of 60 oz. That clear is heaver than you think. I put it all back together and it weighs 1732 grams or 61 OZ. This is still a light airplane and still within the line size limit. I will post pictures as I get it sanded and buffed.

Robert,

I would really like to see a photo of the jig you used to spray your Crossfire?

Possible?

I tried to explane this to a friend of mine. You have to paint these models and use no paint. So this one is as rough as a cob. I am color sanding now and I will post some pics when its it presentable. I mixed in a 1/4 mixing vessel up to number 2 . I use select clear urethane and it is a 4 to 1 mix. I use it 4-1-1 with lacquer thinner for bite and flow. I dust it on and what ever stays there is how it is. This mix is about 6 oz of weight when in the container. It came out adding just over 1 ounce on the plane. After sanding and buffing I would say 1 oz total. I will give a exact count when done buffing. Pics to follow sometime today.
