gumhead, looks good. I've got to ask about the paint on the cowl also. What paint did you use and how was it applied? If you tell me you used Lustrecote from the can I'm going to start ordering mine from a hobby store in Boston. When I refurbished my Cap I replaced my cracked and crazed abs cowl with one from Stan's also. When I painted it, I drained a can of Ultracote yellow paint into a container and then used an airbrush to apply it. It looked great, very smooth very little orange peel. When I drained a can of Metallic Plum Lustrecote And applied it the same way to finish the job, I learned something new, Lustrecote and Ultracote paint are not compatable! Oops. Otherwise I was very happy with the results using the airbrush.
Yes I used LustreKote straight out of the can. I did the wight first and the the plum on top. Then I sanded the whole thing and clear coated it.

Have you run the YS yet? What size prop do you have mounted in the pics and do you plan to fly with this prop?
I did bench run it a few weeks ago with a APC 12x7. This little engines got some spunk to it! It seems to have more then my OS FS-70 II surpass!

How long do you have to wait before you will have an chance to see your creation fly? We get some snow here, but it never lasts more than a week. Maybe you can get Barbie a fur coat and some skis and go fly this weekend.
We should be good to fly in 3 months
this is New England. Besides I have a slowpoke and a hog bipe to build this winter... no time to fly!
