DaveB1 Posted January 16, 2023 Author Share Posted January 16, 2023 Thanks to all the tips from this forum, I spent another enjoyable evening applying some weathering. Panel lines and rivets using a fine black marker, highlighted using a white gel pen, then sprayed some dark grey weathering behind and to one side of each line with just some held card masking. A touch of dry brush silver on leading edges etc to illustrate some worn paint to finish. The best bit was peeling off the windscreen masking to reveal the result - dead chuffed tbh. Just the radio install to complete now 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveB1 Posted February 4, 2023 Author Share Posted February 4, 2023 Finally got to maiden it today. Used a 9 x 4 prop on 3S which pulled 31A. It's a bit heavy so lumbered into the sky from a kind club members launch. I was wary that it would be a bit wild, but it wasn't at all and was slower and softer on the controls than I expected. It slowed up well with a very soft safe stall which was reassuring. I'll try next time with a 9 x 6, (that pulls 44A on the ground and I only fitted a 40A ESC so need to be careful of full throttle use (I can always go to 4S). I'll also add more aileron throw and less expo. Pretty pleased really, it was stable and looked great in the sky. Glad I added the rudder, it just felt like I had fuller control options. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RICHARD WILLS Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 (edited) Cracking paint job . I really like the weathering and the cowl flaps . A stroke of genius (if I may be so bold sir ?) Long nose 190 is an elegant beast . Well done ! Edited October 13, 2023 by RICHARD WILLS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveB1 Posted October 14, 2023 Author Share Posted October 14, 2023 Thank you Richard, praise indeed, as your work provided the inspiration. What amazed me was the whole weathering process took just minutes to apply and was great fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
