Default RE: CA Models ONAS

Good point on the BB's. I am pleased to say that I have been hearing good things from some of the first Onas owners and even though I haven't been posting much on here we have been cranking them out left and right along with the Visa's. THis week alone we have three of them and the first all painted one since the prototype. I attached a few pics of Prestons new Onas because it is the second plane that we have cleared since switching to PPG. I know I posted somewhere how nice the Dupont clear was and it is but it takes us about 6 hours to completely polish a plane.

I thought the PPG was great when I used to paint so I had Marcelo get some concept 20/20. The first Onas we cleared monday for only took about an hour to polish and Prestons fuse doesn't even need to be. Daniel the painter had never used this before but he is absolutely satisfied as am I and Marcelo. Of course it costs twice as much but thats the price of making airplanes to these standards.

Prestons wings were not cleared when I took the pics but they are now and I will post some more of them this afternoon. KB's Visa is going to be the first Visa with this clear and it should be done tonight or tommorrow.

More later

One thing I need to let everyone know (some of you may already know) is on the control horns that are supplied with the planes(Visa Pass-Port's and Onas also) the clevis has a ball bearning in it. Make sure the when you put the screw through the clevis you do so on the side where you can see most of the bearning. If not the clevis will slid off of the bearning. They are made this way so the bearning can be replaced. Since Tony has the first Onas I hope he can confirm this.
Just let me know if you have any questions
