Working on a WACO

Wild Man lookin goood!

BikerPatriot Comp ARF Spark! I'd love to bring those in, or similar. Probably a good idea for the 12s+ crowd.

I would sure love to see that Black horse Mig 29 come in I would buy it right away....can you guys do custom orders? No one has that thing in the USA and I think it would be a hit!

[Wild Man]

Very Awesome work on all the planes here. I have been working on a Bird Cage F4U-1A from flight line I got 4 weeks ago from MRC and am almost done with it here are a few photo's of what I did to it.

Today is the day gentleman. We will start the official entry for the 2021 March Mayhem Custom Aircraft Challenge. Be sure to watch today's live show, we'll be taking answering questions on the rules etc.

Eric,

Go to the Jet Hangar Hobbies website, www.jethangar.com I think, go to accessories, scroll down to pilot figures and you'll find the 1/10 scale full body pilot, unpainted for $25. You will need to trim a bit off the lower legs to fit, cut at an angel to the cockpit floor, but do that at the end so after you set up the cockpit and see how you want him to fit in you get the most body parts in without his head hitting the canopy. You'll also have to fit the head and hands on along with the oxygen tube, so don't be surprised when it shows up not ready to drop in. It's a decent pilot, not perfect, but one of the better ones I've found, thanks to Elbee 's recommendation. Also put this in my A-10 and may drop it in the Mig if they ever get back in stock.

The hard part of the instrument panel was painting the knobs white with a toothpick. Got some images of screens off the internet, sized them and glued on, covered with clear gloss urethane to look like glass. Not exactly scale instruments for a F18, but most of us don't know the difference, including me. Also used some gauges from other panels I had lying around, even though they don't belong in this jet. Up close it looks kind of crappy, but further away with the canopy on most don't see the hundreds of imperfections.

The other hard part for me was the darker red under the big maple leaf and on the verticle stabs. I only used HD rustoleum spray paint but if you have an airbrush, it should be quite easy. Simple and easy are 2 words not in my vocabulary.

Hi Hugh,
thanks for all the information. My F-18 will arrive on Monday😊, the printed parts are in progress...
Best, Eric

Managed to get the video re-edited and re-uploaded!

The Mig has been ready for awhile but still waiting on winter to leave....darn groundhog! I was able to get a couple of pics outside this week.

That really stands out in the sun. Looked good in your initial pictures in the shade, but now it really makes you stand up and take notice. Can't wait to see some shots in the air and you MUST take a flight video, please.

I've finished two E Flite P-51Ds. The first one I did fly some, but I've decided to donate it to the Bottisham Air Field Museum in England where the plane and unit was based in WWII. The second plane I hope to maiden as soon as the snow melts in the next couple of weeks.

I did a total repaint and added cockpit details and other stuff from the stock offering from EFlite that has a blue camo pattern based on an airplane that has been on the airshow circuit in the past. This makeover is a replica of the plane that 361st Fighter Group CO Thomas "Jack" Christian, Jr flew. He was killed in this plane leading a bombing run on a rail yard in France in August 1944. I made it as a tribute to him and this fighter group.

RF, It is a beautiful thing you've done. Best, LB

Aventi S painted in military livery (Luftwaffe). Flight video on YouTube : https://youtu.be/sBuJTJ1JPBU

I love this Strut-bender - It will definitely be featured on the Live Show on YouTube tomorrow! Great work and welcome to Hobby Squawk - James

Hi Hugh,

yesyesyes, it looks absolutely awesome! Could you provide more details of the cockpit interior and the pilot figure? Did you print the cockpit yourself and would you provide the stl-files? And the pilot figure is also fantastic. I definitely need this one! what is jhh? I didn't find anything in combination with pilot figure. I am currently close to starting my one. Decals and paints are already in place:).
Best, Eric

EG, If you will 'go to' the Motion RC website for the Freewing F-18C and 'click' the "Support" page, you will find STL files for the Cockpit that Hugh Wiedman has installed in his Hornet. Or simply 'click' the link above. Best, LB
