fly109: Thanks for the reply, please ignore the email I sent you since you answered it here.

I, like you, prefer monokote because of the finish!!

The neon yellow is Monocoat.
I had to replace a piece of neon yellow trim that fell off, it faded already, about six times in the sun.

Wagas, why do you say you like MonoKote better cause of the finish? What is different about the Ultracoat? Less glossy or something? Thanks.

Woketman: Yes Monokote looks a lot more Glossy than Ultracoat. Well, at least to me it does. Ultracoat just seems kinda satin or semigloss look to it.

Default DV8R Finished Check it out!

DV8R's,
I finally finished trimming my DV8R with a lot of help from a talented friend. It came out better than I expected. It is extremely visible in the air. The best thing is that is flies even better than it looks!
I have 6 flights on it now and it handles better than any model I have ever had my hands on including props.
It takes off in about 75 feet and will land so slow that I rarely touch the brakes. The vertical is great with the P-120 especially after some of the fuel burns off. It is very stable at all speeds and just goes where you point it like a good pattern ship. With the hammer down it looks like it is staying a little under the 200 mark.
I now look more forward to Sunday mornings when I can get more flights in on a great flying jet! A smoke system is the next mission. I hope to stuff in more than a quart of smoke oil. I will have some video soon.
