I am using a MDS 2.18 engine. Hitec 5645 MG digitals and 6 Volt pack. 20x6 zinger prop. Prop hang at about half throttle.Unlimited vertical with the MDS engine. I make my own fuel and the MDS 2.18 needs no nitro which is another thing i like about it.

Very beautiful!!
I would ask: How have you finisched the paint?
It seems to be covered with white Monokote, but then How have you made the red parts? Have you painted them over the monokote? Or yust applaied colored Monokote over the white one? And if it so: how have you cut so good rounded the red Monokote?
Excuse my bad english, but I am Italian, and a modellist at the beginning.... I like to learn more on finishing / painting models
Ciao, Paolo

RE: 79" YAK pic's
The red is monocote on white monocote. I laid out the design i wanted onto paper and then you cut two pieces of monocote the size you need, lay one piece upside down and the other on top of it right side up tape it down on the edges smooth and then tape down the pattern on top of the monocote and cut out with exacto knife. You end up with two pieces alike one for the left side and one for the right side. After i installed onto plane i then trimmed the edges of the pattern with 1/8 black trim tape. That way if you have some rough spots it covers it and makes like smooth edges. Hope this helps you.
