Back again after a couple of months away. I have been building a few more flying machines in my spare time. Started on nitro planes and now have 3 . A PC 9 with a 120 osx motor and 2 boomerangs one with an OS 46 and the other with a Thunder Tygre 91 4 stroke. I have also put together a Y6 scorpion set up with a KK 2.1 control board. I bought a heap of stuff second hand from a bloke very cheap and these were in bits and pieces. There are still a couple of tricopter sand quads as well as a hexa all from HK by the looks of it. I hope everyone is still in good health and flying or building without too many problems.

On this site somewhere, there is a picture of an inverted helicopter in front of a full size glider. Link me to it please. I can't find it.

I have to say yesterday was a great event. Its very small compared to other events. We had about 40 pilots and 3 flight stations about 200 feet wide.

I got 4 flights in and 0 crashes and a few close calls. Gaba helped me get setup before my last flight. Since the wind was just not playing well.

By my last pack I was flying left to right and right to left. I could not get the turns down so I would hover at the end and pyro around to go back. Right to left was shaky at best.

During the whole event every pilot supported me by encouraging me to push harder.

Had a great talk with a Gaui team pilot. Seemed friendly buy also sounded like he didn't want to talk. Oh well I had fun regardless.

Well if you used acrylic paints you can just get some 91% rubbing alcohol and a stiff paint brush and it should come off pretty easy.... let's see it anyways tony

It is acrylic paint. Pactra is going out of business, and they are the ones that I have used for years. I LOVE lacquer paints, but it's seeming that it's getting harder and harder to find them.

I don't think I will redo this one. I will just see if I can hunt some Pactra down that is still out there and paint a new body with teh correct colors. I have a color that I mix myself that no one else has, but the acrylic just doesn't mix correctly. I mixed it as I normally do and it just looks black. I even had to add some white just to get it to lighten up, but it's still just black.

I will see if I can post some pictures tomorrow. I'm still trying to get this thing mounted... Somehow...
