Joe, I am thinking about painting the canopy on my Soucy Extra and saw on one of the earlier post on this thread that a guy used Pactra car body paints. Do you have to use a spray gun or can you brush this stuff on easily or is it a challenge to work with? If you have another recommendation please advise. I am on a weight loss kick on this airplane so going as light as possible. See what you started!

Also, I can't seem to get any good info about using a 6 volt battery pack without a regulator. Not using digitals but would like to feel confident that my decision to not us e a voltage regulator on with Hitec 635 servos and a Futaba 148 8 channel Rx is going to be OK. I read on the Futaba site that it's OK to use a 6 volt pack, but not much info on whether a voltage regulator is really necessary.
