Default Playing Around with an Airbrush

Ok, I know I am not an artist...

I painted-up my Depron electric Pizza Box using my new airbrush. (A Christmas present from my lovely wife!!!)

The pizzabox is painted top and bottom, only added 2 grams!!! The bottom is purple, that why I can tell top from bottom. Airbrushes rule!!! This opens a whole new world onto these Depron airplanes.

AUW of this ePizzaBox is 130 grams (about 4 1/2 oz) and looks great in the air.

Your electric PBF looks great!

Can you please give me the stats on it? Motor, servos, dimensions, ESC, etc.?

Thanks.

I am using a GWS a motor/gearbox with a 10x4.7 prop, GWS 2-AMP ESC and two GWS Pico servos. The battery pack is a 2-cell Li-Poly 560.

The PizzaBox is 16" square and the rudder is about 5' rhombus. The elevons are about 2.5" (I think)

Control throws are max with lots of expo.

If you send me your email and I will take some more measurements and details pictures of the construction.

This setup will hover.

Where are you buying the Li-poly packs, or you building them yourself? Also what charger are you using?
