RE: Black Magic VF3 Build Thread

Okay....

Moving forward

Yea, let's get back to building awesome planes !

A busy day in the shop and backyard. Worked on 4 Black Magics, 2 personal planes - a VF3 and a V2.2 and the two electric vf3e twins ( the ones that have been commented on recently).

First off I have detail pics of the twin vf3es and the sanding - prep work that I did today. These planes are sweet, a matched pair at 2 lbs, 2 oz with canopy, landing gear and chin cowl. I sanded all the "Super Fill" that Mike applied and finished everything with 220 grit. I also cut and trimed the cowl intakes, chin intake and nose vents. I did a glaze final fill with the Super fill product and put them up on the rack. I'll have a couple more hours finish sanding and getting the ready for fiberglass but they are real close.

Enjoy these pictures - these planes are - SUPER AWESOME ! I can't wait to paint these babies !!!!!
