Re: electric control line We flew the 3 mm Gee Bee at the Simcoe triple gym Catholic high school where I THOUGHT the ceiling lights were higher. I kept doing increasing higher angles in wing overs while others tried to judge the clearance. It appears we need about 5 cm more ceiling height as that is how much is now missing from my wingtip ! I was happy just to do loops & horizontal eights & inverted after that. It is a fun toy, easy to fly & is something different at our indoor flying sites, although I have to get all the R/C 's to take a break when I fly. |

Re: electric control line Pattern? Could you actually make out some sort of maneuver in there? I guess my flying is getting a little better after all.  For me, any decent attempt at a complete stunt pattern has a long way to go yet. I guess you could say I'm practicing parts of the PAMPA Old Time Stunt Pattern. It's a little easier to learn without the challenging triangle, hourglass, and cloverleaf. I hope to get there eventually. Paul |

Re: electric control line Looking good Richard. I finally put together a short video of my (ugly grey) Gee Bee. https://youtu.be/iF1CrtyosCE It just seems to magically stay at the top of the circle with very little line tension. It's a hoot to fly. Paul |

Re: electric control line The paint is "Faskolor", a water based paint for Lexan & other surfaces. I only used it as I had it on hand, it doesn't attack foam but takes two coats. I actually spent more time trying to paint the model than building it ! If I learned anything it is that you cannot mask depron foam & brush on a thin paint !! I use a high quality blue fine line masking tape 1/4 ' wide, but no matter how hard the tape is pressed down & how light a coat is applied the paint works under it & makes a mess, obviously because the foam is not a smooth surface I eventually just left the blue tape on to cover the jagged edge & fortunately it looks like a trim color Spraying a dust coat to seal the edge would have worked & then follow with a second light coat,but I didn't feel like doing all the masking. As it turned out , it would have been quicker ! |

Hey- what did you use for colouring? Particularly the red. Is that paint or brushed or what? Quote:
