RE: Banshee
Wow, I guess the pressure is really on now……..
Jim,
I ran into a few difficulties with the second coat of resin on the Banshee wing, mainly slow cures of resin, and coating thickness (older resin, and a bit chilly in the basement). I need to rethink my methods and materials, and think it best to have the base primer ready to shoot before I complete a second coat of resin on the entire plane, as being able to primer some of the smaller parts will allow me to see how I’m doing before I make any big mistakes. I’ve starting doing some homework on Mini-Spray Guns.
As I mentioned to you, I want to do as good a job as I can, and want to scratch my head a bit before proceeding. I became concerned with the quality of my work, and confused on how best to proceed.
So I stopped.
However, I was building a Super Kaos in parallel with the Banshee, and will have that wrapped up in a few weeks (the advantage of MonoKote). The Kaos will be a good “trainer” for the Banshee, and will also put some run time on my Webra Speed, so it’s all good.
Do you already own the power system for your electric version, as I think you should be able to back into a power system design from a more standard prop.
Jim, I can’t think of anything nicer than to have you checking into this thread. I’m looking forward to any posts you care to make on your electric version.
