Gloss clear on the engine nacelle, kinda have mixed feelings about it, cause it brings out all the metallic colors but at the same time I think it's to glossy... Looks like I spilled oil all over the engines... again brings out that blue.....might wet sand it, but will stick it in the sun first to see how it looks...With sun light might look better...
what you guys think...man that blue looks great....

I like the 27, the 35 just has too much going on. 144 inches man that will be a tough one to keep on the LMA1 arena 
seems like everyone is trying to one up the other LOL

Hello Mave, have you consider using an extra fuel tank considering that you are runing 160 size engines and the fuel tanks contain just 5,8 Lt. If so were will you locate it and what size??
I'm going to run with cheetah's 160SE, which give 36lbs of thrust each...i have given thoughts about the thrust vectoring, but i want to stay light for the beginning couple of flights to get her down packed running on rails, before putting in the demon cortex gyro and start putting in weight, like lights, parachute, functional canopy and so on...
take lots of pictures to have the before and after album....
when is your's suppose to be arriving and whom did you purchase it from?

Yes I'm definitely considering extra fuel tanks along with the big u.a.t.'s..... cause as i sit now I'm only ruining 6 minutes best.....there's a spot on top where the intakes sit on both sides where u can stick another set of tanks.... I'll take pictures of the location... and it keeps it near the CG.... and dream works has
a variety of tanks to select from.

I have Steve Johnson's SU-27 here for checkover, final set up and then test flights. He has two additional tanks I think 1ltr each they are from FCT in the UK. His model was painted by Phil at Pinnicle, these are his hot sections. When I get it together again I'll take some more shots.
