[NSRCA-discussion] Painting

[John Konneker]

Chris,

While we're telling stories on ourselves I did similar this weekend.

The Peoria contest was my first with the new electric pattern plane.  We had a rain delay

on Saturday and planned to catch up on Sunday, which we did thanks to Bob Wilson.

Anyway, I flew 2 rounds early Sunday then didn't expect to fly again until the afternoon.

I was thinking I wanted to put a charged pack in the plane right away so I'd have one less thing

to do in case I got in a hurry.

Well... I didn't.  But I thought I had!  :-(

Result was I barely limped back after aborting the reverse cuban in the Advanced sequence.

I was lucky!

By the way...

I REALLY like the "E" plane!!!

I am painting the Emotion and I need to do it pretty quick. I was a complete idiot I guess today, I flew the contest yesterday with 4 rounds and one test flight in the morning, though I was good for a test flight this morning, then I was going to switch battery packs. Well, I didn't make it through the flight. Bye Bye Abbra! lol 
Oh well. On to the next one.  
I was considering the Creswell contest so I need to get this done quick. Maybe covering would be quicker. 

Anyone know any cheaper PPG resources other than Radio South (no offense Tony, you have always given me perfect paint and service) ? Did the prices go up ( and I can understand with the epa stuff going on) in the last several years? I don't remember them being so high to paint my last one a few years back. With 8-10 colors and clear , I'm guessing it would cost me a fortune to paint this. Any ideas are appreciated!

Thanks!

I'm guessing you are painting the new Emotion?

Don Ramsey has an excellent DVD with step by step instructions. Can’t imagine a lighter way to do it.

Has anyone come across any really good articles on how to paint wings and stabs lightly. 

Thanks!
