FMS AlphaJet conversion
Fred:
Well, it was a beautiful, but painful day!
Decorating (well, trying!) this tiny thing since 10 am.. non stop!
Just finished.... Well, very close! A few panel lines, rectify one or 2 things, and a coat of clear varnish and I call it the day.
I thought I had decal paper... But it was for laser! :'( So I had to do everything manually, and that was not part of the plan. No easy way out. Everything was traced, then painted.
It's far from perfect, but a meter away, that do the trick :)
Fred:
Drying now... 8)
Fred:
Varnished and a couple of panel lines added.
I'm done!
Even if the red I put for the letters turned orange after the varnish :'( :'( That will be for another day! >:(
johnfireball:
That looks nice Fred. Will it fly?
Fred:
Wellllllll... That fly! And rather well, so I might keep that one!
We had a good laugh at the first launch, as I did not really fixed the belly... that stayed in the hand of the launcher!
But the thing carried on without too much issues, just the receiver hanging :)
2 miles of tape later, second and 3rd flights were done, and not a lot to say.. It does fly really nice, surprisingly I have to say :)
So, if you look for a conversion to RC, this is definitively a really good project!! :)
