Sorry, dont quite know why the thumbs up came out that big, but hey, you guys deserve it!!

firewall already in and fixed sadly although the possibility of  'getting away with it' is appealling, calling it the mkll. Cheers Hugh,  About to start flexing the cash card, and wondering how to cover/finish the model.  i would like to spray a coating on once covered but dont have a spray gun or any assoicated bits n bobs. I was wondering whether spray cans are the way forward and how much would i need? Also what would make a good 'base' layer for the spray to adhere to? and in what colour, along with any sealants or varnishs needed to seal her up afterwards.  Sorry for the many questions but would value your opinions before biting the bullet  Thanks all

thanks Hugh, offering up the laser it comes in 11mm past the nose ring on the plans, would this be a problem to the side thrust or the overall look of the plane? Hopefully it wouldn't be noticed too much, problem being that the carb and exhaust both exit at the rear of the motor. Preparing the wing sections to be epoxied together so that'll be the usual nerve racking few hours checking nothing has moved!! Project moving on well whilst i can grab a few hours after work, Cheers all

hi guys, what do you all think of fitting a laser 70 4 stroke into this model. Getting close to making a final decision and its this or an sc 65 4 stroke, but i thinkl the laser would make a much better noise and should be more than enough power without ripping the wings off!! Thanks for any advice, cheers  oh and the laser would have a 12x8 prop
