Who needs Wings?




Who Needs Brakes




A madman designed this bladder type expander tube brakes. Do I look happy?

Lets get some air



I.m no Picasso...or maybe I am

Im starting to get the feel for painting with the Stewart system. Its like living with my wife. When you get it right...its sweet.But totally unforgiving of even minor mistakes.

Paint by numbers

Prop , cowling and windshield.Starting to look like an airplane.

May sunshine-time for wheels

Im way behind on the blog so heres the last 4 months coming at you.

The Heartbreak of Painting-





Went to a sign maker and got some vinyl and transfer paper. Redid the design on the computer and laid it out on the gear leg. The vinyl is yellow so I can see the contrast.
The airbrush was a disaster .Probably good for very minor touch ups but to fill a large area no-no.Cleaned off all the wet paint, sanded the dry area to remove the ridge and shot with my touchup gun. Better.
