Default RE: Black Magic v2 builder's thread! *Updated*

OK, I know it's been a while but here's my V2.2. Power is an OS 160 w/ Aeroslave pipe and APC 18.1x10. I see about 7900 RPM on the ground with this setup. Plenty of power as mine came out at 10lbs., 6.9oz. Finish is Monokote on the wings and stab's with Nelson Urethane on the fuse and rudder (yeah I PAINTED the rudder!). The fuse and rudder are covered with silkspan not fiberglass. It's hard to see from this picture but the wings are actually one piece of white and ONE piece of red Monokote. The white went on first. The red is one sheet with a "window" cut out. The overlap is 1/8 +/- 1/32 of an inch. I'll never do THAT again! LOL Landing gear is Bolly F3a wide with carbon spats. Now on to my VF-3 project...

BTW - This plane flies on rails. I hear the VF-3 is even better but right now that's hard to imagine.
