For those that have used Callie Graphics what scale did you use? Thanks!

I usually just tell her which model I'm working with and she sends the correct scale automatically.

The Eflite FW190 is approximately 1:7 scale
I made my own waterslide or painted graphics, and my friend did the Russian front winter camo using a combination of some of mine and Callie's.

I received my graphics from Callie and I believe them to be on the small side. I calculated scale of the plane at 1/7 and ordered accordingly. I also ordered the nomenclature and find those to be on the large side. If I did it again, I'd order the 1/6 scale decal sheet.

Does anyone have a guide for the nomenclature placement? Thanks!

How you guys remove the old decals without ruining the surface.

[SanExup]

That's not possible completely. It will leave an outline where the decal was. If your repainting, I use packing tape or paint over them.

What can you do to support the elv. rod from flexing?

I did two things to my EFlite 190, to stop the Elevator pushrod from flexing.

First, I wedged a piece of foam up against the pushrod tube inside the fuselage. The pushrod still wanted to bend, so I replaced the wimpy stock pushrod with a beefier pushrod. I used a 2-56 rod for my pushrod. It is almost too fat for the pushrod tube, but it’s worked fine for me for over 60 flights.

I remove the decal. I've had bad luck with factoring over some decals. Once removed, feather in an acrylic paint to act as a primer and level the affected area. Usually I use a Vallejo white. I just add it until I get it feeling smooth across the transition. I rarely try to make it perfect because usually a new decal is going where the old one was and this hides most flaws
