Default RE: Black Magic VF3 Build Thread

HI All,

Just a quick update from my shop.

I picked up 2 electric Black Magic Vf3 fuses that Mike built and I am painting for a client.

These planes are crazy light - as you seen them in these photo's with landing gear bolted in place, chin, canopy and rudder they are at 2 lbs 2 oz. They are so big and so light, you have to be careful when you pick them up as not to throw'em to the ceiling.

I am painting these in "Fire Dragon" Scheme with tribal flames etc, much like my yellow plane but mostly white.

I am amazed by the work Mike did on these babies and I am aiming at 2 lb 7oz with finish or less. Mike awesome job here bro !!!!

My vf3 is in final primer and I am planning on painting all 3 planes together with similar schemes. On my plane I am working up a tribal dragon for the front of the plane. I am planning on doing most of the prep work on the two new planes tommorrow and fiberglass by the end of week....

Cheers!

Dean
