We might need a few more details on how you got you plane to the painted state. It is looking good. Dave

This airplane was assembled using Aliphatic Resins and 30 Min. epoxy. Special attention was taken to make perfect seams. I used 3/4 oz. Hobbico Fiberglass and diluted with alcohol polyester resin. Car body filler was used and two light paint coats. The result is a surface that looks like a mirror which I think is terrific.;)

It does look great. We will of course need to see the finished airplane. Good Luck, Dave

Very nice, what kind of silver paint did you use?

It was prepared by a friend, I will research it + I will let you know. I am considering using dual 2000mAh 5 cell NiMH RX and 2 switches. Another option would be 3 NiCd 4-Cell 4.8V 600mAh . What do you guys think about it?

I intend to fly it not very often, 2 or 3 flights on weekend.

Use LiFe batteries. They are safe, retain juice well over time, and don't have to use regulators with them. Weight slightly less than NiMH.
Most folks have dropped old tech NiMH and NiCad years ago.
