Default RE: Black Magic VF3 Build Thread

Merry Christmas folks,

After a very long wait while I finished up my IMAC planes for next season I am just about ready to start my VF3 builds! I'm on vacation right now but I plan to start one of the VF3's on Jan 10 or so.

I am going to be using e-Power. Plettenberg Evo 30-10 Extra, Schulze controller, TP 5200's, "the Canadian" setup LOL. I am plannig to use Silk and dope. Futaba BLS 451's all around, Powerbox Sc-12 with 2x420mah batteries and FASST 2.4ghz 608 Rx.

I'll be using System-3 paint.

I realy hope to make weight and I will try my best to do so but I refuse to use covering. Mike did the sheeting and lightened the wings so I am starting off super light. Its up to me to build light and be very careful with the paint (which is months away anyway.)

The only thing I am unsure of right now is Silk on the wings. I am very nervous that the dope will soak into the cores. I plan to make some test pieces to see.
