Some Eye Candy

[MarnochS]

Nose weight recasting the standard round fish weight using a plaster of paris mold so they fit better on the firewall. Each "ingot" is around 8oz.
Screws used to attach to the engine standoff

have peter scale it down to 2/3 original and x45 it.... im in for a kit if he does............dying to put that motor to work when it gets released soon.

but for now your plane looks great as is.

[MarnochS]

True,....it would be uber-cool with a Turbo Prop.
Unfortunately, not very practical for towing, also the X45TP is only equivlant to a DA85 in power.
A JetCat SPT10 or 15 would be more practical ............but then fuel burn rate becomes an issue. the SPT10 burns 11.8 oz at full power and the 15 is considerably higher.
I would have to install functional "drop" tanks to carry all that extra fuel.
............And of course 3 or 4 large fire extinguishers.

yellow spiral and if done in 3 blade im sure it will look thinner than 2 blade... this plane begs for the new release soon of the xicoy x45tp motor up front not much change in cost from da150 with pipes and headers.............

[MarnochS]

All kinds of options too........looks like I better order a second spinner



What spinner should the Smelly wear today.........and , of course, ......"does this spinner make me look fat"......

[MarnochS]

Excellent....

[BryanB]

Something like this maybe?



Or this?

[MarnochS]

Now.....there's an Idea......

[BryanB]

OK, blue with a white spiral then!

[MarnochS]

Thanks Guys


I'm partial to Blue.


And black for comparison

[BryanB]

Yep, black with a red or yellow spiral painted on it!

[gunny11]

Yes stunning! but...
The spinner needs to be painted black. Then it's complete and will pop with the rest of the model.
