Default RE: MK Skystar - build started

Getting there! Jon & Flywilly have probably given up on me, but my Skystar will fly before the seasons over!

Fuselage in primer, colors this weekend. Wing (and stab) complete, covered with Ultracote. Belly pan was glassed & painted. LG & wheelpants done. Color scheme will be similar to the Alliance pictured...

Using a YS 1.10, Johnson header & Mac's quiet pipe. 14-12 APC initially. Trusty JR 8103 radio...had planned on the new JR 9 channel but Horizon is as slow announcing that radio in the US as I have been slow in building. MK hardware.

Have had to fly my MK Alliance CP again this year...that's alright, this is the finest "45" size model in the entire history of the world. OK.. I may be biased~ but not many airplanes this size have bested 2M airplanes in competition(yeah...only Sportsman). 4 1/2 pounds, OS 50SX on an MK softmount, MK hardware, JR mid size coreless servos...sweet flyer.
