Early October. Why not just say, early 2013?

Good looking bird. I was about to push the button on the ESM 82 inch but then saw how much the shipping was. That plane would be over 700.00 bucks. I can't afford this. I am going to have to go to the 70 inch birds. BUt I have more gas engines than 4 strokes. What a dilemma!

while we are waiting for the model to show up so we can get on with the fun part someone needs to post a pic of something cool they have in their hanger [8D]

OK. I'll try. KMP FW190A, 72" w's, all composite, Sierra Retracts, OS120ax. The spinner's now 1/2 yellow and 1/2 black. Tried to do the spiralschanause (sp?) a couple of times but couldn't get it right.
If I get one of these, this is the scheme I'll do.

I do like the paint scheme on it in the pic. As for a spiral snause spinner, you can get one from sdshobbies in china for about $28 for the 70.5" size plane or a bit more for one for a 1/5th scale 190

Ok this is what RCU is supposed to be all about. The German spinner funness.... This is what I do and I’m not saying its right. I use pin striping tape. I set it in the sun and let it get warm then run the spiral
also here is a great video by Ty Brown on how to do this his way.

RE: TF FW190 GIANT ARF
I did a thread on it a while back. It's easy and does a good job for what it is. It appears to be very similar if not the same as stro spray 1000. There is a how to video on my web site.

The 47 is still in use my conclusion was its no better than covering but you don't have the problems in the sun wrinkling the surface. Paints just like glass work.

Hey Guys,
I just started a thread on converting the new Top Flite FW-190 to E power, link to thread http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_11235653/tm.htm
The FW-190 is set up with a Futaba radio using S.Bus on the wing so that I only have one lead for all four servos, the New Robart Electric reatracts, they are also just one plug from the wing so I only have two connections on the wing to the fusalage. I am then using a RimFire 65cc Motor with a Caslte Creations Ice 160HV2 and a 12s1p 5000 mAh pack.
