I did the same thing on my second flight, I think I may have been pulling up elevator by habit (tail draggers), I tell you this...she's a tough bird, she was hitting hard and took it very well.Originally posted by Trobinson99 View PostComment

I screwed up and put the small stars and bars on the wing now I have the bigger ones left for the fuselage. This bothers me greatly, stupid OCD. I'm wondering if I can put the bigger decals over the smaller ones on the wing and then order a new decal set so I can get the smaller ones for the fuselage. Anybody have any thoughts on putting a decal over a decal?Comment

Are you able to soften the decal and lift it intact?Comment
-
I'm not sure, the decal has been dried to the wing for several hours at this point. I suppose since the small one and the big ones have see-through areas it would look pretty stupid putting one on top of the others and that's not going to work.
The big one on the side of the fuselage doesn't look too bad but I may just order another set of decals I can get the two small ones for it.Comment

I will lift a corner and paint under the decal with water to gently work it off. Re-applying is is another story. Really thin Elmers glue dries clear and could possibly be used to set the decal in the proper place. Just a thought.Comment

Uh-oh.....
Can anyone from Motion tell me if the servos and control board are 6.6V tolerant? I saw that the BEC was 5V output. I was doing some bench testing and unconsciously reached for the 6.6V LiFe battery instead of one of my 6S packs or an old 4.8V nicad. Everything seems to be OK after the fact, except for my NG landing light. There is no voltage at the control board pins when the gear is cycled. I plugged the landing light into one of the strobe outputs of the control board and you could dance to it if the mood strikes so I know it ain't the light or the wiring to the light and I know the strobe outputs are OK. I gots plenty of ways around the issue, I am sure (to get power to the light). I just want to make sure I didn't just void my warranty. I didn't see any warnings or specs in the manual for power handling, unless I just blew by them.

Any thoughts or comments are welcome.
Thank you.Comment

I think it was mentioned at one point that 5V was max. If I can find the post.....Comment

I don't care about saving the decal I just want to make sure I don't harm the airplane. I'll give this a try on the bottom side of the right wing to see if this decal will come off easily or not.Originally posted by RCjetdude View PostComment

I asked the original voltage question. Alpha checked upstairs promply. His reply is before page 100 I think
but I can't search deeply from my phone.

Soak it good and get under a corner with a xacto blade or tweezers then brush some water or setting solution under it as you lift. It should come off without damaging the paint.Originally posted by dkalwishky View PostComment

Basically we asked if the LIFE was OK.
And the " Brass " said no....lol
Thanks for everyone's trial feedback.
Its just great !Comment

Thanks for the advice on the decal removal. I wet the decal that was on the wing with a cotton ball and let it sit for a minute. As suggested I used the sharp end of an X-Acto blade and very carefully lifted it off of the airframe. It did not damage the paint in anyway. I put this decal back in the water momentarily while I put the correct size decal on the wing. Once the decal was on the wing I put the smaller one on the backing paper that the large one was on. I was able to get the smaller one on the side of the fuselage where it belonged.
That worked like a charm on both sides, now my A-10 looks like it should and I'm very happy.
Since these decals are going to all be dry very shortly should I still brush over them with a setting solution or do something else to make sure that they stay on the airplane?Comment

The one you reapplied may not be stuck the greatest if the adhesive was thin. I am no decal expert so I am not sure if the setting solution will be enough.Comment

Anyone planning on sealing with WBP ?
Mine will be in on Tuesday. The tracking says
Its still in Illinois....lolComment

I have been using Microscale Decal solutions on all my painted plastic static models and it works great softening and conforming over any recessed and raised area. I have not tried it on a foam plane yet, but I will try since it's over a painted surface.
Ordered Hog yesterday, will watch maidens and flights here until arrival.Comment

Still in the hospital. Maybe another day. Feeding me intreveinious antibiotics. Darn, having to wait till I get out to work on the A-10.Comment
