25 mph winds and rain so finally got around to a few upgrades on the Avanti S after some 150 flights (wow, am I lazy). Installed the 3D printed nose brace and what a difference. That's sure going to take the excitement out of taxiing and take-off! Also installed one of kallend 3D tail cones. He's designed 13 of them, all great, so just had to throw a dart and pick one. Thanks for your designs!!!! Was going to get fancy with painting it heat affected or with some charred exhaust but reverted back to being lazy.
WHAT The HELL?? A Sport Jet with an Afterburner, you must be out of your Mind! Guess that gives you an insight into my mind, or what's left of it. Had an AB in the Avanti from day one, in fact I have an AB in all my EDF's, including my Stinger 90, except for my A-10, and my wife had to chain me to the outhouse to keep me from putting AB's in that one!

After WAAY too long in the workshop I finally finished my second green version. First was based on the yellow so it's green and gray. This was based on the red so it's Green and yellow. I'm so glad to finally have this off the bench and ready to maiden. I got burned out after the painting on this one and the project stalled. Now I can open my 84" bushmaster and get it ready to fly.

Do you mean the 12 blade out-runner into the Avanti with the 9 blade in-runner, if so I would think not as it would be a retrograde step?

Anyway -- I get their rattle cans from Amazon or https://www.dickblick.com/ I guess it goes without saying that Liquitex does not have fumes.
