Default RE: Black Magic VF3 Build Thread

Anthony,

Listen to old Chicken Joe Dean, he knows what he's talking about. I too have just spent those long nights sanding repainting and sanding again. I painted the Monster Magic a few posts back and it to was my first. It's not perfect by any means and I know every little mistake I made and know where each and everyone are at. But when it's all together and buffed out and on the field flying they all go away. My son Chris gets to fly that V3 which was all framed up by Mike and I believe I put 4 gallons of paint on and sanded off 5. Even though I don't get to fly it (at all) the reward of seeing my son fly it and do so well is unspeakable. Dean and Mike both and Mike Wingo baby sat me through the whole process and without those guys I don't know if I could have finished it. I did have a few thoughts "why in the hell didn't I just cover this thing in monokote". But I pushed on and got it done and the results were a lot better than I thought they would be. So keep pushing and Get-R-Dun.
