Hello again,

Well, I think I'm slowly figuring out how to post some images. This is photo of my Typhoon.

You got it!

If you wish to share more than one pic in a post, then after each upload make sure your cursor is behind (to the right of or below) the pic and press enter twice.  It is usually a good idea to press enter once or twice after text that is in front of the photo.

That creates separation between the text and the photo, and the enters after the photos make them stack vertically and easier to read and view the post.

Thanks Dale,

That's a Vailencourt plans built airplane that I often compete with in ScaleMasters events. It's a heavyweight at 54 pounds, but flys very realistically. It's got a DA 85 which seems to be a great choice. It does however require a bit of runway on roll out after touch down on paved runways.

Thanks for the kind words,

Chris

Thanks guys,

I'll include one more photo, then I'll give you all a break until I have something meaningful to share.
This is my BUSA quarter scale Neiuport 28.

Once again, I'd like to say thank you to you all for keeping this forum so alive with great builds and information.

Chris

Good morning Teus,

Thanks for your compliment. Mostly, it's just wear and tear from more than ten years of flying. The plane was covered with 21st Century fabric similar to Solartex. It was then painted with latex and weathered with water based paint by airbrush. I then sealed the surface with a mat clear from Top Flight. Can't recall the name of the product, but it was a popular spray can finish at the time. Over the years it did yellow and turn rather rusty brown, that added to the character of the plane. It's getting a little ragged with time and I think I'll probably strip off the fabric and repaint it. It's such a good flyer, it deserves a overhaul.

Thanks,
Chris
