RE: Fleet Brotherhood

Does anyone have a good drawing or pdf of the Fleet in the circle that is on the rudder? I need to cut a new one.

RE: Fleet Brotherhood

That's a good idea. I'll hold off cutting holes until I balance it and if its tail heavy then I can cut holes as needed. I can move on to the N struts now they did not come with the plane.

RE: Fleet Brotherhood

The paint is exterior semi gloss latex. I know its not fuel proof so I'm going to experiment with clear Lusterkote on my sample part.

RE: Fleet Brotherhood

I do have another problem with the Fleet, finding a place to keep it. Between my son and I we have 14 planes but its a good problem to have. I'm sure I will make room for it.

RE: Fleet Brotherhood

I put some paint on a sample part I made. It looks like the color will be good with some primer under it.

RE: Fleet Brotherhood
