Large image of 393wr racer. Now we are realizing fuselage in fiberglass. Wings and other parts are in foam + obeche bonded with epoxy glue. This model is realized for a formula named Air On Man and consist of 3 subsequent tests in one: pylon racing + gliding after only 15" of engine + acrolimbo. Are u interested? Somebody want rules for contest?


That's a neat looking bird. Almost a cross between a pattern ship and a GR-7, which sounds like a good idea for that type of event. It sounds like a fun event too. Has it been held before or is this a totally new idea?

It's my original idea. All nitro birds can partecipate because all we can find the best performing machine + the best performing engine. The ideal is a very fast bird (pylon) that make aerobatic like an F3A with a very low stall velocity and a great efficience for best timing gliding after 15" of engine action. (can u understand my english?).
We are promote this event in all the world and we create chapter in every state.
Chapter 1 is Italy, Chapter 2 is Sweden, Someone want that Usa become Chapter 3? ;-)

I brought the AJ-2, Pit Bull, and Dawg Gone It.

The AJ-2 and Pit Bull had their maiden flights today.

A bit of work here, and although not perfect, should be a suitable flier. This plane has been around the country, and did well at a few contests. Hope the new paint job does it justice. Some of you may remember the previous (Picasso like) paint job

Hopefully its midair / ground hits will end at 3!

There are a lot of great painters out there, I am not one of them, but I do pride myself in a smooth surface. The colors may not be perfect everywhere, but after a buffer of rubbing and polishing compound, my planes are as clean as any ones.

When it comes to painting, I might as well count on doing everything twice.. It turned out pretty good the second time.. Just have to put on the clear and wait for some warm weather..

Yes, I have used two stage many times, and actually prefer it.

I typically use the single stage when painting in a mold, but only had a little left in the can so I wanted to use it up. Klasskote is fuel proof without clear, so I didn't want to add a coat of weight on top of this plane.

As to the Nelson water based paint, I tried to give it a go about 8 years ago. It sounded great until you get ready to use it. I really struggled getting my gun/pressure settings correct and was never fully satisfied with the final painted product and switched back to car paint. People will say you just got to get use to it, but even after trying many suggestions from Nelson and the boards I just couldn't get it give me an acceptable looking finish.

Here's one I painted this weekend, snow flying outside and all.

Replaced the black with Atomic Orange from the 2008 Vette.
