My personal vf3 has been sitting in final primer for almost a month. I wet sanded her with 400 grit and she is fully preped for color. I guess it's time to start taping

She is so silky smooth

Wood baby !!!!

Been a busy day and I got a lot done. Can't wait to start slinging paint.....

Hi all,

Looks like I am doing another shop day !!!

4 planes - 3 separate projects !!!

I hope to get the twins half in fiberglass. I am going to try to get an extremely light 2.5 oz fiberglass base and finish that with just one rolled on coat of primer. I will document the fiberglassing again, I was thinking of using a flour sifter to drop the microballons and using a roller to smooth it all out.

Start covering the wings on my yellow v2 I still have to do a little trimming ans sanding on the stabs, should have the time get it all ready and started.

For primered vf3 I still need to finalize my paint scheme. It's going to be in tribal graphics just not sure yet how it's all coming together. It looks like the fiberglass and primer base added about 5 ounces. I can't wait to start painting this bird...

fun fun !!!!

later all,

pics tonight

Dean

Status: offline 		I got the wings and stabs of my VF.3 just about covered. This is the basic scheme that all four of the Atwood Skunk Works planes will be done in. The colors may change but the game remains the same. A little more covering to do then I can start the long tedious process of sanding and finishing the fuse.

Hi All,

I fully prepped out the twins today and they are ready for balsarite. I put them up for the evening. They will get the balsarite sealer in the morning, they are looking great. I am on schedule and should have them in base coat in about a week if all goes well.

This is like the classic "naked baby" picture.

cheers!

Looking good mate.

Any chance of a shot of how the motor is mounted in these two electrics?

Cheers
Jason.

These planes are set up for standard mounting plates and stand-offs. But all I have is bare firewalls.

Mike has also designed a laser cut mount. That he will have to disclose

I hope to get the balsarite sealer on the planes today and some fiberglass. I am also ready to cover the wings, stabs and rudder on my V2, today and I am going to cut and finish the wings and stabs on my personal vf3.

ANOTHER SHOP DAY !!!!

cheers!
