Flew my planes for the first time in two years , at the Barnstormer Carnival. Springfield Ohio airport over the weekend (2 - T28's, 1 - Avanti S)

I'm getting ready to repaint my E-flite 80mm Phantom, and as I've posted before the scary part for me is the primer. Once you get a coat to stick, the rest is pretty routine, though time consuming if done right.

Does scuffing the foam work? It does in most any paint application, but just a little worried about damaging the outer "coat" of a molded foam piece.

BTW, jetman, have a fond place in my heart for the T-28, which I flew in 1979 in primary flight training.

Well this is the END for this repaint job for the Eflite T-28

Now for a new paint project.

Nice mod, T33jetman! Is that a 5mm or an 8mm LED? It looks good. Your meticulous rivet detailing looks sharp, too.

Alpha, they are 8mm LEDS

It's been a long time but I can now say they are both flight
ready.

Got rid of the fake nav. Lights and added some LED navigation lights, with clear half domes on both planes today.

Hey Mate!

Nice, thanks for the info. In Woodcocks world I view lights a basic nonsense in my models. Just one more thing to fail or be the cause of ultimate disaster. I never use them, ever. But if I did, this would be something I would consider. Its funny T33, when flying I wouldn't ever even notice them. It took me a while to notice I very rarely even retract my gear LOL. No offence meant, as I think of you as one of my friends here, and would never intend offence toward you mate, you do beautiful work man.

Nice work mate.

Best Regards
Woody
