    With all that POWER, IT'S A STUNT PLANE! Great job on the fuselage DETAILS. The real ones aren't NEAR THAT POWERFUL. Thanks for sharing. Cool work.

    Balls of steel to keep jumping in those aircraft to go bomb. I can imagine what my face would be if I finished flight school and they told me I was being assigned to a bomber wing instead of a fighter wing.

    Awesome 👍 don't know if you had it but back in the day when I was a kid we had thin card board paper planes that had a rubber band to wind up and when it was tight just released it and it would take off

    That’s AMAZING! Are those actually riveted metal sheets??

    • @Thercgeek
      @Thercgeek  2 года назад +1

      The model is covered in foil tape and with it being soft, he indented rivets into the metal surface. Makes for a pretty convincing rivet.

    This is sweet! I'm building the same one and am new to the rc world. How did you make the compartment so you access your servo and battery?

      The builder had made hatches that were held on with magnets. Worked quite well

      Yes it’s heart breaking, I’ve watched that plane fly around town since I was a kid. I just saw it a week or two ago fly over while I was at work but regrettably didn’t take a picture. Makes me wonder if it was the same pilots in it at the time. RIP to them all

    Hi I have balsa se5a 1/4 scale it's balsa with coving film. My question is can weather it as same as using wash hard find this question on RUclips

    • @Thercgeek
      @Thercgeek  2 года назад +1

      You can, yes. However, id recommend clear coating the Mylar finish first so the wash has a little more something to bite and adhere to. Also, I’d recommend clear coating it when it’s all done too. I did a full paint and weathering video on my Mylar covered Skyraider which may be helpful: ruclips.net/video/nL1R734vwxk/видео.html
