Default RE: 28% edge pics

abcando,

I removed the covering from every part of the plane that I added the monokote. I made templates for that and cut to about a 1/4" smaller to allow for overlap.

I also removed all of the covering from the entire fuselage and rudder. Basically, the seam lines were not cut straight. They were cut after applying the covering rather than before so they were all over the place. Since I was taking the time to make templates and make sure the lines were nice, I wanted them to all be nice. So, in order to have a nice match with the white that I have on the fuse and where it would match up with the Ultracote I left on the wing root and elev., I used Ultracote again for the white. When I got the Ultracote white and Monokote white out in the sun there was just enough difference to notice that they were two different brands.

Hope that makes sense.

As for the decals, I only have the Tru-turn ones on the cowl, and then the JR-Propo on both elevator halves as well as a small Hitec on each half. It did not show up real well on the picture but in the red on the rudder top it also has an all white JR-Propo. Those are the only ones I have right now and did not want to just have JR decals on it so I am trying to come up with others. I would like to add something with DA-50R and possibly that logo.

Friend of mine has the little guy that is always going on Ford or Chevy but he is going on the word "gravity" I might try to get that on there.
