I spray-painted the cowl in red after taping it to leave the white stripe. Then I placed the black and red factory stickers on the white stripe.
The wheel pants I painted by hand.

Thought to myself "Im finally getting the hang of this, lets have another go". 5 mins later I got bounced by a squadron of enemy Cockatoos, 12 in all! Who were very persistent in demonstrating that the sky was THEIRS! BAS#@*DS!! . Im quickly running out of foam to epoxy! Im taking a camera next time, maybe somebody will recognize the Cocky's from the video

Status: offline 		Does anyone know if there is a good step up plane(intermediate flyer) to the Cessna, preferably just a foam fuse, wing and tailfeathers, something that likes to go faster. I have been looking at the Sapac Red Arrow EDF but I think I have a lot more learning to do before I step up to that. Thanks

How comes you let your plane being chased by birds? Usually I'm the one chasing them. Maybe you need more power!

Status: offline 		if your talking about a step up from the cessna, my cousin went easily from a 4ch cessna with tp 2409-12 motor to a brushless stryker. for the money its a great plane. fairly fast, quite stable, responsive and tough as old boots.
i went from the cessna to a multiplex gemini and found it easy enough, could have gone straight to an acromaster as well. don't think my funjet would have survived the transition though.

i donated my cessna to a mate and he maidened it in about 15 mph wind with my old 3 ch wing without bracing. lasted about 2 mins, luckily the tape held it together and i managed to land it for him. still, not bad, his first time with a plane and he didn't crash.

You wont believe this but today i went out in gusty conditions with a 19" Lee elec RC and was catching some updraught directly above me, 80 - 100 ft and in gently glides a Red Kite , a full 6 foot Red Kite... - she followed ne in close formation til eventually we both settled on the same marginal lift, directly over head - the Kite took station directly above the Cub - she was clearly 4 times the size - positioned exactly in formation 2 feet over the Cub for nearly a minute ............it was beautiful - not once did she make an aggressive move - she treated it like a baby.......

All you need to do mate is get the Aileron wing (if you don't already have it) and stick a brushless setup in it. You don't need to reinforce the wing if you are not flying aggressive - but I did. Check this video out... I have since put a slightly larger brushless motor so she goes a but harder now. - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vO9VR3J9M4E
