Which paint did you end up using?

So on a different note, the real drag chute I have is pretty interesting on the packing and jettison. I was very fortunate to get this from an F-4/F-16 pilots estate sale.
Again, congrats!

I actually went with a primer coat of Krylon paint/primer (grey), then light coats of Krylon "Color-Max' Ultra High Gloss Black. It worked quite well. Sealed it with Min-Wax WBPU, then sealed it again after decal were applied. Paul & steve….I did see the video and I use that exact method. It was the eyelets, catching on the guy lines, that wouldn't let it open. The talcum really helps, and prevent chaffing too.....LOLOLOL.

F4 takes off very quickly so i usually try holding down just a sec then allow to lift off for a very scale climbout.
. I havent tried full flaps on landing as the plane really slows down and has a great controllable sink rate with half flaps.

I use take off flaps for both take offs and landings. Haven't felt the need for full flaps yet. Takes off and lands perfectly with half flap setting. Although I have a high approach where I fly so I am going to try full flaps soon.My YouTube RC videos:

Just received shipping notification from Motion RC that my 3D parts are on their way. I will finally be able to start my build. I have the drogue chute kit from RCJetDude and Paul is making my chute. Lots coming together all at once. Of course my plane has been painfully sitting since the first batch.
Cheers,
Jeff

You shouldn't have to adjust your timing. The power systems are calibrated and balanced at the factory for the best performance out of the box.My YouTube RC videos:
