Modified colorscheme at my Griffin
I love the Griffin. The model have a good quaility and is very lightweight.
The flight performance reminds me of my beloved Jupiter from X-treme composite.
Over all an excellent value!
That the Griffin is only available in one color scheme, it can be easily gotten over as a concession to the price.
Many other top models are offered with only one color scheme too .
The scheme is nice, but with only three colors, the Griffin scheme can not quite keep up with the up to date colorfull finish of the more expensive models.
On the basic of the standard colorscheme, I took the liberty to tune my Griffin optically with a little self-adhesive gold foil and thin black strips of film.
With good film, it looks like laquered!
An additional investment of € 15 and 3 hours of work, and now, the model can visibly on a par with 2500 Euro models too!
My modified finish pleased the owner of X-treme Composite, Mr. Nuttawut Rattanaprarom. so good that the Griffin "gold" is now exclusively available in Europe at Lorenz Modelltechnik (
www.F3Alorenz.de) for a very small add. amount.
Of course, X-tremec Composite like, the golden color as well as black stripes are painted in serie now.
I hope you like my modified finish! (older pics in my wirkroom before maiden.
Of course, now with 75 mm Ph. Marquet cone and Uhlsamer 3 blade 20x13.
Motor is the Hacker Q 80 13XS ( same great combo like in my competition model 2013, the Pegasus from X-treme)
