Default RE: Styrocraft Challenger#2 Build thread

Progress on the build has slowed down to a crawl as I've had unexpected company for the last week and my workshop has been turned into the "guest house" temporarily, Things should pick back up by the weeks end. Ihave got a few little things done like installing the aileron servo and wing hold down blocks, as well as dyeing the canopy using the Rit dye method. I picked up some Ultracote and am going with white on the entire bottom, red on the top of the wing and horz stab and an orange and red fuselage. Also picked up some black trim sheets for detailing. The Rit dye worked very well using the liquid concentrate in very hot water. I left the canopy in the dye for approx 45 min checking it every 15 min for the desired tint. Hopefully I'll get finished up soon and start the covering.
The Dye worked great on the Cat too!!
