RE: Customizing monokote/ultracote looks (ie painting on/detailing) Hangar 9 Spitfire
Hey Leehunt, I'd love to see some pics if you have any. Did you repaint the entire thing? After looking around, it looks like even a flat coat goes a long way!! This is my second Hangar 9 Spit. I had a Super Tiger 61 on the first one, and it flew great for a warbird! The only thing I noticed was a tendency to loose altitude on high AoB turns more than others. My friend with a different Spit has this same tendency. Might just be and elliptical wing Spit thing. In any case, it wasn't much. This new one, I'm planning on putting a SAITO 100 on it with a Keleo custom exhaust. As far as flaps, they work well despite the trip adjustments with them up or down (if you don't have a radio that will compensate). I flew it on a rather large old runway so I didn't use them as much just to avoid the re trimming, but the few times I did, they worked well!
Once again, any pics and info on it's durability would be great. Tomorrow I'm going to get some Rustoleum and try this process on a test model. How did you work around the decals? I'm thinking of removing the read fuselage ones to fit a white stripe on it, and repainting the emblems and letters.
