So after a long delay, mainly due to a wing servo stripping its gears and then having to be cut out🤬, the Fury is finally finished. Simple Humbrol spray acrylic to give it the silver paint job. I have been waiting for what seems like weeks for a sunny calm day for the test flight - which was this af...

Looks like another masterpiece in the making Ian - nice scheme. Have you checked the ailerons?

The rear of the fus is now covered with tissue. I used traditional shrinking dope in the end as I will be able to apply acrylic paint straight on after a light sanding. Quite pleased with result - drum tight with two coats of a 50% dope/thinner mix. I have also covered the lower main wings and rear ...

Failing that it’ll be dope - I’ve got some of the water based stuff from Deluxe Materials so hoping it...

Having seen Jamie’s lovely example fly last summer my latest build is a Hawker Fury from the Flair mini classics kit - approx 1/14th scale giving a wingspan of 26 inches. As you can see most of the airframe is complete, I’m just working on the undercarriage wires which are a bit of geometry challeng...

Count me in

Here is my Ninja - thoroughly recommended !

Should work fine Dave - you'll just need to flip inverted - then turning right will be no problem
