Dirty Birdi 60
 

A couple of pics of my new bird as I paint her.

It’s wonderful to see these great pattern ships posted on the RCU and under construction. There is a Great Plans kit listed on ebay right now. Is your kit a GP kit?

RE: Dirty Birdi 60
 

I hope it flies as good as it looks.:D

RE: Dirty Birdi 60
 

No believe it or not that is a balsa fuse on this one.

RE: Dirty Birdi 60
 

I still have 2 more colors to put on it by the way. The base color is a Candy red w/ gold flake, the second color is a metallic gray, then a med metallic blue and a yellow metallic. It should be very visible. LOL

A couple of more shots of the blue with the masking removed from the canopy.

Looks fantastic. Very missle-like colors [8D]

I still need to put the yellow stripe on it, maybe tomorrow. LOL

RE: Dirty Birdi 60
 

Very nice work!

RE: Dirty Birdi 60
 

Thanks 8178. You will be mad at me though. I converted it to a tail dragger. LOL

RE: Dirty Birdi 60
 

2 more pics with the yellow stripe on it.

RE: Dirty Birdi 60
 

8178, do still have a Kaos 40 kit unopened at your shop? Is it up for sale? Just email me.

Thanks,

Jim

Nice paint job, but don't throw it out in the trash. Judging by the yard, I'm surprised you have the time to paint and build a Dirty Birdy. Noticed the lawn mower and preschool kids yard toys.

RE: Dirty Birdi 60
 

LOL, yeah it does get hectic around here at times. But the wife is good about giving me 2 hours a day for my "toys".

RE: Dirty Birdi 60
 

Have to work on that 2 hour deal with my wife too.

RE: Dirty Birdi 60
 

What is the plane under construction in the three indoor photos, behind the dirty birdy?

RE: Dirty Birdi 60
 

Tried to PM you but it wouldn’t work. I still have it but plan on building it. They show up on ebay every few weeks.

RE: Dirty Birdi 60
 

Looks great! Please keep the images coming. We need many more of these types of posts on the forum.

RE: Dirty Birdi 60
 

The one in the backround is a Bridi Escape. Either that or my UFo are next on the board. LOL
I think I will take alittle break when this is done, I haven't done a paint job in a while, now I remember why. LOL

RE: Dirty Birdi 60
 

I am shocked that there was no comment on the conversion to a tail dragger. LOL

RE: Dirty Birdi 60
 

Is it just me or does it seem like the older pattern ships seem to sell better, on the market place, than the newer birds ?

RE: Dirty Birdi 60
 

I couldn't respond to the tail-dragger ...I was ROFL....

RE: Dirty Birdi 60
 

What made you laugh so hard ? LOL

RE: Dirty Birdi 60
 

Real pattern planes have the 3rd wheel in the front...

RE: Dirty Birdi 60
 

I keep hearing that. LOL

1. I hate setting up the steering linkage on the nose gear.

2. I couldn't locate the old "revlon" bottle fuel bottles we used to use. This engine is thirsty so I wanted a 16 oz tank. I decided to kill 2 birds with one stone and have her drag her butt. LOL
