Ok, most of the graphics are on and she is looking pretty sharp. Here is another walk around video and some pics. She is almost done.

That and I finished the Stinkbug and got the maiden in on it. It was a good day.

Thank you sir. I hope the maiden will happen soon and we can get some video of it.

Man that's purrrty, nice job.:Cool:

Thanks! It is turning out very nice but it has been a challenge.

Always enjoy watching what you do Steve in getting yours birds looking the part before you maiden.:Cool:
That is exactly what I do..........Purdy them up and then maiden them in their glory.;)
I always get a chuckle over the nervous ones saying maiden them before spending all that time detailing.:P
Nonsense......damn those torpedoes and full steam ahead LOL

10 years ago we built a house and to save money I worked out a deal with the builder where I would do the trim and door painting. We moved in before it all got done and it is still not done to this day. I can understand the caution to pour a lot of work into a plane before making sure it is air worthy and all but I have had very good success with maidens in general and I personally am less likely to finish a plane once I start flying it.

If it were released in a Blue Angels color scheme and at least had a nose door and a lighting package, I may thought about purchasing the A-4 :Cool:. Excellent job on all the modifications Steve.

wow amazing work! any chance of a flight video?

[RCjetdude]

Thanks guys. A flight video is part of the plan. Having to deal more with the weather now.

I'll bet George will fly LOL

I'm with Charlie, I do all the paint and detailing before maidening, it's more than half the fun. I think the only one that hasn't been through the paint booth is the Avanti but even she has clear coats on her.

Yeah, George will fly in anything but even he won't risk compromising EVERYTHING he has in bad weather conditions. Even he has some more foul weather birds ;)

Flying the little E-flite Cub today, sustained 25mph wind with gusts up to 40mph...I really like flying in high wind, with the right plane it's really fun.

[RCjetdude]

Decided to go ahead and add the vortex generators while I am waiting for the last graphics to arrive.

[RCjetdude]

A little touch up paint and they will be all done. That wasn't so bad.

[Boots Whirlygig]

Nicely done!

[EA-6B Geek]

Those look amazing. At least a 1000 volts there.
