I just emailed Callie and told her the manufacturer, the plane and the wing span. That how I work with her. If anything is not what I like she corrects it fast.BVM Bandit, EFlite Carbon Z T-28, EFlite Carbon Z Cub, EFlite Promethus, FW Avanti S, FW A-10 ThunderBolt, FW P-51 Mustang, EFlite Convergance, EFlite Carbon Z Cessna 150, EFlite Habu, EFlite Styker Q-F27, HSD Navy Super Viper

Just watched the video, lots of great tips.
One question I do have, how and do you remove any factory decals or paint before you start the painting process, or do you leave them on and just fill over them?
Remove paint using acetone and a rag (stay away from plastic parts and hinges).
Yes it takes alot of time but saves on weight.

How do you go about using the ice cubes?
Doesn't the acetone melt the foam?

I worked in the auto body business for 25 + years and I figured it would melt it instantly.
Have you ever tried lacquer thinner?
Thanks for the tip 😃
