Isnt she peeeeerdy !

Thats how you want to do your nexstar right?

what's the white stuff on the mount that isn't lining up

That looks like powdercoating to me. I think I should be able to tell if it was PSed (since I PS stuff for fun) and it really doesn't look like a PS job to me.

Citation???

I would have to agree, either you have some really wierd distortion in the camera, or you just did a ad job on the fins in photoshop....

cool idea though...

I changed my response because after a second look it's possible but the shot (pic 2) has some sort of block that is definitely out of alignment.

I stand corrected

Nothing was done in Photoshop the engine mount was a old ISO mount from a NexSTAR , i just threw it on and took a pic .

This is next on the list >>>>Not sure what color i will do though .

hope your using heatresistent paint ... (but maby that's not nessecairy on such a small engine .. don't know what temps you get with RC engines ...)

I hope you're taking the bearings out to paint/coat. That front one looks too yellow to live very long.

Oh my Gosh you perverted a perfectly good engine...

[X(]

Could you come around and suggest a colour sceme for my kitchen...

HAHAHA

Just kidding...

HAHA i figured a lot would like this !! [:-] I dont see many RC engines with a good paint scheme ! only plain ole gray ! OH and doesnt it suck that the MAC pipe isnt even powdercaoted out of the factory ? its plain high temp paint !

The powdercoat i use on these engines withstand 1600F , plus powdercaot wont , rust , chip , fade ! think of powdercaoting as worry free !

Well, I for one think it looks pretty cool. I don't think I'd do it, but that's me. How about posting some pictures in 6 months or so after it has run awhile? I would be interested to see if or how it holds up.

The holdup factor is flawless in this application. I had my upper intake manifold done last year along with the throttle body "and that takes in heat" and it still looks brand new ! I also worked in a piant production factory and did the harmonic balancers for the Viper , Powdercoaitng is awsome !

I think it's absolutely awesome. Where did you have it done?

Thanks for the reply! I was sure there was someone out there that would like this! I will be offering the service to ALL rc'ers this week with my new upcoming site.

I'd do it. If I had a nice enough plane to put a powdercoated engine into.

Maybe once I move up from my trainer!

I hear ya there! I'm sure once I have more pictures people will be very pleased of what I have to offer, imagine a Chrome Pitts muffler coming out of that cowl!

man good job i really like the looks of that!

Thanks mrbass111 , Just trying to keep things nice and neet !

Now that is slick! I really like that setup. Much MUCH better than gray!! haha.

You say you are going to offer services to do this to RC'er's engines? Let us know for sure please!

Would have been a lot less effort to put a cowl over it...

Do you think that the powder coating on the engine's fins will lessen their ability to dissipate heat?

S.

Andy,
Some people like brick, some like siding, some like stuco--some people choose to make their engines a part of the overall scheme of the plane, and not just something that has to be there to make the thing fly. I think this is an awesome idea.
