Need some ideas on what to do with the top of my new Porker. The checkerboard was a must for me, Found some 'ChinaKote' with 1" b/w checkerboard. Goes on kinda funky, pretty lightweight stuff. The balance is all Monokote. I'm not a big fan of the 'classic' covering for a Hog-Bipe, but would like to do something different. If 'yall got any ideas on the trim for the top of the wings... lemme know!

Man, I think it looks pretty good as is. Great job!

Imho, nothing looks as good on a hog as a starburst on the wing tops and checkerboard on the bottom. You're half way there.

Very nice job mcmike!...How about a gold Budweiser logo on the top wing?

How about some gold stars on the top of the wing and some black striping on the tail to offset all the red back there?

Looks like Tashley won... Just wasn't sure about myself I guess! Yeah, I thought real hard about a Budweiser Logo, and even had my daughter yelling about putting a #8 on it with the Bud logo... Yeah, right! Anyways, here's the finished product!







whatcha think!?

The starburst looks WAY better than a #8 . Great looking hog, have fun with it!

Just to clarify... no, those are NOT my 'dollies' in the background! Those belong to the better half, and it's because of them that I get to keep building new stuff! She's got something around 500 (!) of them spread around the house. I keep telling her that i'm going to buy me a 'Chuckie' doll to take care of some of them...

Specs on the Hawg...

Radio: Futaba 9U with 4 - S3004's, 1 - Hitec 605mg on rudder.
Engine:Saito 100GK w/ 15/6 Zinger
haven't weighed it yet, but it's definately a 'Sig-Pig', probably around 6 to 7 Wet.

Hopefully, if the weather is good, she'll get her maiden this next weekend.

I just found this thread and was going to suggest something like I did on my 4 Star, but as I got to the end of the thread, I see you did exactly that. Your Hog turned out VERy nice.

I did kind of a take off of the starburst design on mine and added a twist....I like the result.

Dan,

That looks kewl

that does look good. I was kinda looking for some new ideas, but I guess the 'classic' trim schemes work well too. I think i'll probably steal your idea on the next one....

Hope to see pictures when you get finished. Good luck!

A couple of pics of my recently completed Hog.

Great looking pictures of the Hog-Bipes. It makes me want to purchase a kit and start building.
