Interesting on the Ultracoat white and monocote colors. I was thinking of trying the same thing for the same reason. I wonder if anyone out there has figured out a way to work with the latest version of white monocote?

Any thoughts on your paint and covering? Looks like an awesome machine. I really think F3AUnlimited needs to add this to their stable of planes don't you?

Joe I painted my Integral using a lot of paint called Dura Color from the auto store plus some of Chris's old PPG that he left at my house when he moved. I finished that off with a PPG clear coat. This time I'm leaning on using Dura Color white sandable primer for the base and using Createx Autoair for the colors with House of Color clear.
The covering will be a mix of both Monokote and Ultracote. I can't get Monokote white to work so I use Ultracote for the white. If it turns out looking like crappola then I'll do it over. I'm experimenting at this point.
At this point I'm leaning on the new Himax F3A motor upfront. I'm crazy about Outrunners be it Pletty, Axi or whatever they have all worked great for my needs.
Chris Moon is spending a lot of money, time and effort to bring the worlds products to us. I hope CA and he can find a mutually beneficial synergy that has him making the planes easily available to us.
''mutually beneficial synergy'' OK sorry had to get that in...
