Default RE: Debonair Engine

I went to Lowe's in town, and apparently they don't carry the Krylon name. But Rustoleum has a plastic primer for use with regular spray paint. Your supposed to put a thin layer with not much concern about it being even or completely covering the surface, then I topped it with Krylon gloss white. They said maximum bond is acheived 5-7 days, it was probably 2 weeks before I completed the plane and flew for the first time. It's had several flights and even more hits and the paint is sticking fine, even with the fuselage flexing and denting on impact the paint is sticking well.

Also back to the engine, the Supre Tigre 45 was a great engine choice, It's started easily every time, and it runs well without me being very finicky about tuning it.
