RE: Sky Raider Mach II Solid Colors

I'm putting an orange Sky Raider Mach II in Tony Stewart colors together for a NASCAR personality. If he doesn't like it, it will go on the block or in my demo fleet.

RE: Sky Raider Mach II Solid Colors

Would you rather have the Sky Raider Mach II available as an ARC (Almost Ready to Cover) or would more solid color options be preferable?

If you want more colors, which ones? We already have...

RE: Sky Raider Mach II Solid Colors

I'm doing an orange SRM2 in pseudo K&B colors. I've always liked orange and purple together. This is metallic purple instead of the traditional purple, but the colors go together pretty well.

RE: Sky Raider Mach II Solid Colors

Trimming a Sky Raider Mach II is pretty easy. The ToughLon is actually pretty nice covering. It is strong and it works well once you get used to it.

The most important first step is to use a...

RE: Sky Raider Mach II Solid Colors

I'll make sure I tell my wife. She spends a lot of time cleaning it because it shows any dirt at all. It's 1" x 2" red oak stained with Minwax Red Mahagony with a little black added to bring out the...

RE: Sky Raider Mach II Solid Colors

Now that I got the LA Racer 40 together I could get back to the Sky Raider Mach II.

I think the 1" checkerboard ToughLon covering on the tail looks pretty good. ToughLon checkerboard is only...

RE: Sky Raider Mach II Solid Colors

I used ToughLon covering from The World Models for the trim on this one. Since that is what the planes are covered in, there are no heat compatibility issues. I like to use the same kind of covering...

RE: Sky Raider Mach II Solid Colors

Jim,

I finally had a chance to get a solid color Sky Raider Mach II out tonight. The hinges look and feel fine to me. They may be just a hair thinner than Great Planes CA hinges, but I don't see...

RE: Sky Raider Mach II Solid Colors

Bob,

Yes. 3 pole 400' x 400' x 100'.

Haven't done any races with timing. Just fun "demo racing" and practice flying. I would guess that the lap times are a little slower than 424 on the...

RE: Sky Raider Mach II Solid Colors

Welcome to the party.

The yellow is bright yellow. I think they call it cadnium yellow. I took the picture inside at night.

The yellow is effectively the same color as regular yellow...

RE: Sky Raider Mach II Solid Colors

Jim,

I will check out the CA hinges this weekend. I did not take any of the parts out the bag, so I don’t know anything more than that the hinges are of the CA type.

The only concern I...

RE: Sky Raider Mach II Solid Colors

I'm getting a couple of OS .40 LA engines to put on Club 40 planes for the pylon demonstrations. I'm actually creeping toward the slower side, because I want to make sure that any reasonably...

RE: Sky Raider Mach II Solid Colors

Ken,

The new planes are still Sky Raider Mach II ARF planes. No name change.

I understand the need to not let anything creep. In fact, the LA Racer 40 being included in Club 40 was a...

RE: Sky Raider Mach II Solid Colors

Geeze, you just can't puleeze everybody. :) :D

Using CA hinges is more in line with the other major manufacturers.

The metal hinges bled black dust as the plane was used. I had a lot of...

RE: Sky Raider Mach II Solid Colors

I took the yellow Raider out of the box. One thing I noticed was that they did a new cover for the instruction manual. Cool.

I opened a white one. It has a white spinner, and the yellow one has...

Sky Raider Mach II Solid Colors

I got my first shipment of The World Models Sky Raider Mach II ARF kits in solid colors today.
