I'll probably pop down to the field Saturday morning with my DX7 Transmitter at least. I brought my Brushless glider down last weekend for it's possible maiden but it was decided that it was too tail heavy and the conditions were a bit windy as well. Looks like it won't be ready this weekend either. Decided to paint it (did primer coat tonight - see photo) so now am committed to finishing this phase. White coat tomorrow night, then masking the next day, then red & blue star burst patterns to spray paint... it just goes on & on! Will I ever get it in the air?! Ah well, buiding the model is half the fun. See you guys down at the field. ...(wasn't sure about painting Solatex, but some research on the net and found that it takes most coatings - am hitting it with enamel spray paint - so far so good).
