Cool, I'll keep that offer in mind. First plane I plan to tackle would be the U-2R before I move onto the SR-71 and F117

Recently I tested a black ABS print against the summer heat. Left the pieces out in 94 deg F weather on asphalt for about 20 minutes. Surface temperature reached 141 deg F with no signs of softening or warping. I have some "black bird" designs planned after validating this, and I already started on the first one. Should have something to show in the next week or 2.

DD, We have a "Habu" here in Hutchinson at the Cosmosphere. It hangs from the girders, but if you need some photos of a specific part, I will be happy to 'give it go'. Access is good to the bottom side obviously, and from the front as it hangs at an angle with the nose about 5 feet from the floor. Let me know if I can assist. Best, LB

New wing for the f86 complete, starting the new fuselage now.

Thanks brother, it was great feeling flying it. Looking forward to more flights :)

Rifleman, that PBY looks great flying by! Very cool

[rifleman_btx]

Thanks bro, was a fun build, just didnt like having so much lead to balance it. But otherwise was a fun overall experience

[Hardway]

Very cool! Great job bro!

[rifleman_btx]

Finally got the PBY flying. Shes a great flying machine once dialed in. Took 6oz of lead in the nose along with the 2 3000mah 3s packs in parallel. Might call her the lead sled. But man what a beautiful flyer.

Alclad is some awesome paint for replicating metal parts. When I build my 90mm F-104, that is going to be the ticket for sure!!!!

[Hardway]

Shiny!!! I can see the reflection of my house in there.....

[Hardway]

Elbee is rocking him some Alclad paint on the gun pods!!!!

[Hardway]

Looks great Bro!!!! Nice, nice, nice!!!!!! When I break the F-4 out of the box, it will be a fun time for sure!!!!!!!!! Going to be a while. I am about to get a new shop built here. 30x50 or a little bigger. Then it is ON!!!!!

[Dirty Dee]

Awesome!

Hey Y'all, Designed new pylons, build mods made, ordinance printed, with most assembly & painting complete, then a few markings and mounting on the F-4 Phantom. Acknowledgements and special thanks to DirtyDee, Apmech1 and Crxmanpat for their original work with all the ordinance designs, You Guys Rock! All my mods were for size, fit, mounting, and variants, but without your original work none of that would look as good as it does. Bravo Zulu. I will post pictures in the F-4 forum with everything mounted and then its on to the check flight. WooHOO! Best, LB

Finished the wing electronics install. Going to replace the floats with fresh printed ones, just have these old ones on for place holders. This new printer is night and day better than my old one.

DD, Great looking cockpit ya got there. Very Nice and Great Detail, Diggin' the Pilots, though those guys each need a pair of AO shades.:bluecool Best, LB
