The Typhoon 2000 lends itself nicely to being glassed. The cowl is fiberglass. If you cover the fuse and paint the cowl, and have a seam that shows. It will be ugly. And it will show.

Plus this is such a nice plane, why go to all the trouble of building it, and then put a plastic finish on it. Just glass and paint. Its worth the small weight gain.

Cover the wing and stab. That will get heavy if you paint them. But pretty, it would be.

I will be updatoing the website with some great photos of the new Scott Dunphy designed Titan next week. Now there is a plane to fall in love with.
The European look, but in a balsa fuse. Now thats having your cake and eating it to.
I have pics of Scotts Titan on the page now if anyone wants to see it. Its naked, but soon to be complete.


The polycrylic, I have not heard of this item being used. But I like the weight savings you all speak about. Tell us more about it, and how it works.
