Not sure yet. I only have SC Rx left and I don't know if I want to chance that at Shannon. I still need to install the motor but that is only an hours work. but if I have it ready it will be flown. ( I am too weak to just leave a flyable plane down

With the crappy wx, I was restless and put the f6f together with the single conversion rx.
now looking a building a new biplane but I want to use foamboard instead of balsa. Still thinking on that though.

Re: Hellcat refit..
Finally got around to painting the Hellcat so that it is a little easier to see. The finish isn't as good as I would like. I think my WBP is getting too old, but it still worked.

Marc! Wow! That looks great brother. Considering the mess it was in when you got it... that's perfect!
Sooooooo, when can I bring my second biplane over for a paint job? You know, the colour scheme we disgusted on Sunday!!!!!
Seriously, I'll pay ya!

Re: Hellcat refit..
The colour scheme and markings are made up. I saw a seafire with that similar colour and liked the look. the decals are from the GWS P40 for the desert theatre. The pic makes it look nicer than in person. I mixed Wallmart craft paint for the blue/grey and the bottom is just H2O Cream spray paint. I then sealed it with a Satin water based Polyuerothane.
