Hey guys, check out my new 1100mm F3A model. This is a Guan Li model, which is one of the rare examples of quality Chinese manufacturer, I had this plane before and its the best acrobatic plane I have ever flown. I ordered a new airframe and set about painting it a nice yellow and silver. for power I will be using a park 450 1050KV spinning a 9X6 slow fly, for servos im using 3 HXT900s and a 1800 MAH zippy compact lipo to keep the weight down. this setup gives about 600g flying weight which is great for those hover maneuvers.

I am debating if I should paint the wing bottoms also silver or leave them white or even black? any ideas?
