That's a real nice looking paint job. What kind of paint is it?

That is VHT engine paint, satin black base with gloss aluminum and 3 coats of clear.

There are no solid plans other than this summer in post #34. I asked the same question; really cool build.

So cool! I'm trying a low power version but can't find the fin dimensions posted anywhere...did you just eyeball it?

Thank you. I used a drawing I found on google that had some dimensions, but I had to mod the sizes a little to make it stable. top fins are little smaller and the bottom fins are about 10% larger.

I plan on flying this once I finish doing my level 2 and 3 re cert. Right now I am working that and hope to have all that done by aug. I need my lvl2 to fly this do to the cluster as it will be a J impulse total. I also need to get a jolly logic so I can do dual deployment. I hope to fly it aug or sept. Once we finally do I will video the flight.

That is what I am finding as well. Thanks!
