Re: EMHW Katana Monokote covering thread
Hey Zivbit, so whats so great about this cover job? wanna do my Cap? LOL seriously, awesome job. Let me ask a question, there has been a lot of talk about Monokote not being as good as it used to be, did you encounter any problems? I am about to cover my Carden 35% Cap and I'm not looking for any problems.
Once again, great job Frank A Rega |

Re: EMHW Katana Monokote covering thread
No Problem man I can cover your Cap, only the shipping to here will cost you more than a new Comparf plane...... No problems with the Monokote - I love it. I did not cover with oracover before and I hear its good suff, but it does not have the color variety or special shine of the monokote. Good luck with your cap. Ziv |

Re: EMHW Katana Monokote covering thread
Paint job begins.
This is the metalic platinum layer - it is the first layer benaeth everything. I use a good spray gun with 3 inlet diese (i think thats what they call it) and a 5 liter compressor . The paint is Dupont auto paint matched to the monokote color by computer, did that at the motorcycle shop in my hometown. Ziv |

Re: EMHW Katana Monokote covering thread
Zivbit,
Another little piece of advice about the hardware. Believe me, it's a good one .

Re: EMHW Katana Monokote covering thread
Thanks,
Its been 2 dificult weeks at work so I did not get much progress. I am just into painting now, quite time consuming. Once I finish with paint, I will post pics of the process. Cheers, |

Re: EMHW Katana Monokote covering thread
Hi Guys,
back to work now... I have began to paint the layers on the fiberglass parts. Here is how it is done on the cowl. The color is metalic gold, matched to the monokote color. 3 layers to get the right color depth. Ziv |

Re: EMHW Katana Monokote covering thread
Checking the color match... OK
the white trim will make it more visible, same as in the monokote. |

Re: EMHW Katana Monokote covering thread
I did the canopy trim color in metalic blue - perfect color match.
This time the guy at the car paint shop did a good job on matching the colors... Next is the spinner design. |

Re: EMHW Katana Monokote covering thread
Here is the wing servo instalations.
8611A's all around. 4-40 threaded rod with carbon tube over it - super pushrod! heavy duty ball links and 8-32 swivel horns threaded into the hardpoint. the geometry is good as it is - at full deflection (35deg.) the rod is perpendicular to the ailron. Ziv |
