I have used Aerokote before but not added flatting agent to give a matt finish, the standard catalyst mix with Aerokote is 10%, i will be mixing 75ml of Aerokote but i will be adding 48ml of the flatting agent to get the matt finish, do you add catalyst at 10% to the total amount of the two or just the amount for the Aerokote itself? Anyone used the flatting agent to achieve matt can advise on which of these two amounts they used? I think re reading the Deluxe website description of the flatting agent it is added at 10% to the total of the two, i will be spraying it through a gun and thinning with 10% Cellulose thinners, again is it 10% for the total amount, thinners is not mentioned on the flatting agent........

I would be up for a 109E, i already have your G kit in the queue, i may be tempted for a Spitfire as well, just got to count the pennies before i commit to both, what time scale would you be looking at Richard?

This is a really nicely built DH 84 Dragon which has motors with contra rotating props to stop any swing on take off, working LED nose light and steerable tail wheel. The model is finished in a scale Chrisair scheme and has Turnigy motors with Plush 30 amp controllers and flies on a pair of 2200mah 3s lipo packs in parallel, all motor leads come with the model you simply plug the two packs into those. This model is of the Dragon which is an earlier version of the DH 84A Dragon Rapide which had the eliptical wings and this model is not to be confused with the much smaller Dumas Dragon Rapide model, this has been plan built to a very good standard. Outer wings unplug leaving the fuselage on it`s wheels with motors, model requires a pair of 2200 mah 3s lipos and your receiver, more pictures on request. Pick up from Spalding in Lincs, no posting i`m afraid. £225

You will enjoy flying this, they are great models sadly now no longer available, luckily i have one of their Spit kits to go with the 109 i built a few years ago, build thread is on here somewhere. -

Both props turn in opposite directions to avoid the left hand torque swing on take off. -

Posting this as a new model as i have just finished sorting it out, new matched ESC `s as the ones in it were different makes and amp ratings when i got it which meant they started at different throttle settings! Also the leads to join the two 2200 mah parallel packs needed re making, all done now, balanced, ready to fly, and i am now going to sell it! A couple on here (yes you Richard) know that my next winter build is going to be an Einkel HE111 and this will put some money in the bank to buy the motors, ESC`s and retracts for that project. This is a lovely model but it probably won`t get flown much by me so someone else will get to enjoy it, 59" span plan built DH84 Dragon with contra rotating props to stop swing on take off. -
Priory Models Silhouette airframe for sale 55" span, it has had a bit of use and a repair by the looks of it but still a good useable model, these fly superbly, i have had three over the years. My last one i converted to electric and it was my go to flyer on a 4s 3300mah lipo for 6 years, only sold as i have an unused kit in the box to put together. Suit a .40 to a .61 2 stroke or a 52 Four stroke or as mentioned above an easy electric conversion, i have several pictures of how to convert if anyone is interested, comes with the original instruction book and c of g is marked on the wing. Collection from Spalding in Lincs. £65
