Thanks guys, it is just that I do not like the design of the skull. I , for my sins, and for all my "working" life, was a woodcarver/artist, My company specialised in carving and painting heraldic devices and the skull just does not measure up. I think I will just paint over it. Way back I used to hand paint all this stuff. Never used decals. The pic is one of my companies products....did them when I used to be artistic. .

It lifted the OEM Paint easily. I wiped most of it off with the same paper towel.
Took a couple afternoons.
If I was doing a repaint and there is OEM water-slides/vinyl decals, I would use acetone and paper towels again.
Worth a try if you're repainting anyway.
Best, LB

If its a decal u need to remove it,, but it will pull paint,, water slide ,paint over and cant tell,, lb over on spitfire thread, gave good description, somebody also wanted to change scheme... one thing u dont need to use the latex paint.. i use auto paint( im a an auto body man) its not the cheap option , adhesion is very good.. u may have a hardwhare store to buy interior house paint,, they can color match, for u.... lastly do the grey f4 come with decals fitted now,, used to b 2 decal sets?

"Its fwing 1835 " Yes, I have the FMS 1835 and didn't realise Freewing made one as well. I just bought the Freewing 1750, it is supposed to produce 4600 - 4900 gms of thrust so hopefully that will improve off grass stuff.
On a different subject, is there a way to remove the skull transfers on the tail. I am not over fond of the design and would like to change it. It looks as if painting over them is about all one can do.

Have that in my new unflown camo F4...good motor..... this Freewing 1750 has redesigned blades and is supposed to deliver more static thrust. Unfortunately, I am so simple that I read it as "able to get off the grass better" That is why I need help !!1 Photo

I recently installed the Freewing 3668 1960Kv after having the 4068 1835Kv for about a year. Lightened the plane up, and on a 6S 6000 Admiral, I can easily get a 4 min flight time with throttle management.

I would agree with Evan D. I had the 1835 setup in mine for a couple of years. After trying the 8S setup, I reverted back to the 6S w/ 1835. Same performance, lighter weight and with good throttle management, good flight times.
