I finally managed to sit down the past couple of evenings and take some permanent markers to the three Deltie gliders of this build.
Since this is an 'Air Show' model, I decided to render them in red, white and blue.
The bottom sides of the delta wings are solid blue to provide greater visibility during gliding flight.
On a whim, I also painted on some cockpit canopy windows, and applied a silver Sharpie finish to the nose of each glider.
All that remains is to tote them out to a nearby park and do some glide trimming operations.
Also on the build docket is finishing up the booster vehicle for these babies.
This should be quite a fun bird to fly under power.
Stay tuned.....
are the bottoms also red, white and blue?
ReplyDeleteHi, Mike,
ReplyDeleteThe bottoms of all the wings are solid dark blue. Good contrast against any sky background.
I probably won't be flying this one until we get back to the Dove Valley field.
I'm guessing the booster is 18mm? If you have enough people present you could try an A8-3 trial run without getting too much altitude.
