      Now that one would be even easier than the B-1, because you could get away with a single 70 mm or greater EDF. You just have to be careful when landing:

        Hey Danger, Ok so I didn't get the airbrush after all, after seeing your post. Would you be kind enough to let me know the color and cans to get? This plane you did fits my mind set perfectly. Simple, beautiful, and functional. The look is awesome. I'm assuming the graphics came from Callie?

        I picked up a Wind Rider 737 last month I intend to build later this year. Trying to figure out how to do the finish. I want a Glassy Smooth airliner like finish. Thinking about using a covering film just want to do something to the foam to finish it prior to the covering. Don't want to see any foam finish in this thing if possible. There is a defunked web site for an old company called, "Wow Planes". They have a video for finishing foam prior to applying their stuff called liquid sheeting. So might try that prior to applying my film coating. Really don't want that foam to show thru.

        I would have loved to have gotten one of those EFlight Airliners. Timing just wasn't right.

        Best Regards

        Woody,

        I use Rustoleum 2X paint and primer spray paint (available at home depot). Gloss real orange and Gloss white.

        When you remove the stock decals you will probably peel up the underlying red paint in places. Dont worry. After you remove the decals, give it two coats of Minwax water based polyurethane. It will seal the paint and build up the surface to hide the decal edges.

        Give the whole plane a coat of Gloss white first. Let it dry a least 4 days and then paint the orange.

        Use Frogtape yellow delicate surface tape for the masking (also available at home depot). Mask the plane immediately before you paint it and then about 15min after you spray the orange CAREFULLY remove all of the masking, you dont want the paint to dry with the masking tape still on the plane. The total time the masking tape should be on the plane should be less then an hour, that way you wont peel off any of the underlying paint.

        I used various decals I had laying around but I'm sure Callie can fix you up. Give the plane another coat of Minwax after you've applied the decals.

Heading over to Harbor Freight to pick me up an air brush right now actually, well on 10 min. All this talk about the T-6, and still no OV-10. What's the world coming too.

            I am curious to know how many of us would like the bigger super scale 2m birds from MotionRC? I know there is a market for the smaller stuff, and I like them big and small, I just don't see many 2m releases. It seems the prop planes stop at 1.6m, and the EDFs 80mm twins are rare (but special).

            How many of you guys are in the market for more 2m super scale releases? Yes/No

              Actually the PC-21 has a 5 blade prop and the T6 has a 4 blade prop.

              For the prop, I used the 4 blade prop and spinner from the Roc Hobby Strega.

              Actually makes the plane faster too because it has more pitch.

                  For me Freewing need to bring out a 90mm swing wing Tornado GR4, this would just be awesome and unprecedented in the EDF market, if not either a Rafale or V3 Typhoon to replace the V2 Eurofighter would be awesome. In terms of Flightline I'd like to see their own BF109 maybe an Emil variant or if not a 2M lancaster would be just wow!

                      I would really like to see them bring back the Eurofighter in EPO foam or just make a run of them as they were in EPS foam, really wouldn't matter to me, I love the looks and how it flies, but if not, I will take a big F-18 in super scale size......................:Cool:

                                          No offense taken Bro! :) I'm with Charlie on this one, although he's been at it longer than I and deserves the first one when it gets here! ;)
                                          IMHO He should be the test pilot and reviewer to announce the release of this awesome bird!:Cool::ov10
