Got my plane finished, i need to work on the flaps some more getting them trimmed out, nice plane, paint is kinda weak, What kind of paint will work on foamies?

Looks real nice. I had a foamie delta wing jet some years ago. I used Parma paint since it's water based and won't eat into it.

Nice job Patrick, get some video of it in the air.

Hope to Fly tomorrow, gonna check the weather before i load it up, seems to be a pretty sturdy plane, Props are known to be weak,and are hard to find, HK has them back ordered and have been that way for 3+ weeks

There's bound to be a more common prop you can use. Might have to do some adapting as I did with the quad to use APC props, as the DJI props are known to let go mid air. :whhooo:

BTW, I ended up with an extra prop reamer in my latest order if you need one.

I did find a few props on ebay that were very close to the size, i may order a few of them and see how they fit. The plane has Tons of thrust, with the 4 blade, when i get use to it ill move to a 2 blade to speed it up some.

Sweet plane! If you use a spray paint on it do t get too close while spraying, in most cases it's the propellant in the can that deforms the foam

Maybe go to a bit more voltage instead of a 2-blade prop. I think that it would spoil the scale looks by running a 2-blade. It's too nice a plane to ruin the scale appearance.

i could do that, i would have to switch out my esc for a 45 amp to run 4s, but the HK esc are very cheap.

Castle has their 45 amp ESCs on a blow out garage sale.
