For the airbrushing I'll take you step by step on how to mark out your plane cutting your stencil and use of the stencil with stencil layering.
That would great. Im looking forward to it!

I am building the DW Yak and was wondering what you are using to hinge your control surfaces. It looks like you have actual hard point hinges and I would like to use something besides the tape.

For the Mid size one tape is more than enough, and DW provides it. the bigger one has a carbon rod that runs through several plywood hinges.Works very well ,but a bit heavy for a 38 inch foamy.

Nice slow fly AJ ,the flames almost have that true fire effect.

MikeC3D, your son did a good job! He should post it again after the complete build. Lets here how it flys. I have the same plane I think he'll be really happy with it.

Thanks guys. Devcon, Ya, I just cut out a stencil from poster board. After seeing all these planes I was inspired to try another paint job. I was working on a slofly 22, made with black foam, so it was interesting to paint. I stole some of your idea's snap on how to make the checkers, hope you don't mind.
