GP G202 1/4 scale Red colors
The red color on my cowl and canopy trim and the covering on the fusealage do not match.
The cowl and the canopy trim are darker than the covering.
I think the covering is Monokote.
Does anyone know the correct color?
Is there a Lusterkote color that matches it
or another supplier?
I have Missile Red Lusterkote - it appears to be lighter than the covering color.

That is one of the notes in two articles I have seen on this kit. (my kit as well). The cowl is a little off in color. I don't think there is an exact match. Lustra coat will be the closest match.

My cowling has a very slight red difference. It is probably from painting a white fiberglass surface. You can try two coats of paint on the cowl. Mine is not that big of a difference and paint adds weight!

If that is it, you can paint the back side a darker color and that should address the problem without taking a chance of messing up the front.

what we have done is to match the color in the cowling & canopy with the fuse at the local dupont paint shop and re-paint both pices.

Read all the threads in this forum, there are big discusions on the incidents on the stab the firewall and the wing, Mary cross from GP recomended +1,o +1 om stab, wing & engine.-
the word was that all giles needed down trim elevator to fly straid, I did +1,0,+1 and now I use up trim elevator, so is a no win!!
It flys nice, I have a 1.60FX, it land fast and alway kind of tip stalls on you right at touch-down, nevertheless if you loose speed and stall it high, recipe for crash!!
so because of is sweepback wing design alway land it with speed
also put a fiberglass fabric with epoxy at the joint of both half wings.- I t probably will need weight at the tail so try leaving a way to put it in the back, I don not remenber how much mine has, but ALFIRC will tell you since they have 2 in La Paz and he did mine, he put it in before epoxing the tail feathers.
Good luck and enjoy hte flight!°!
