Nice Job

Looking great, I have had an electric 109 for a few years now. Loads of fun, but still running the older Graupner brushed motor an 30 Nimh batteries. What motor batteries and ESC did you fit in her? Looks like an AXI motor and CC controller. Also what issue was the review in?
Thanks

hi major rush,the speed controller is a jet 90 heli plus,the battery is two flight power 5000mah 5s1p taped together!oh it is an axi aswell thanks for asking. I do believe that the conversion i've used is the one that you have on yours. I would love to see some photo's.

hopefully,if all goes well I will be taking my 'BMFA' b cert with this heli.and proving i'm alowed I will film it and post it on our new club site.
If it flies anywhere nearly as nice as my bell 230 I think it will be a very suitable heli for the job! what do you think?

I'm really happy with the weight of the paint job,it came in at a little over 26grms! And i've still maintained a very glossy finish.

hi skypilot,I used PPG deltron base-Modena yellow(ferrari),medium silver and straight jet black. And the lauqer was PPG 880 HS with medium hardener and long thinners. I opted out from using water based becouse it is rubbish also it is more dence so it's heavier.I chose that particular yellow becouse of it's great covering properties. Everything only had one coat,hence the slower laquer arrangement.

No,sorry I should have been more clearer,It's car paint.The advantage with that is you can mix your own formulations,ie; fast thinners=faster drying ect.
