Thanks for all of your support!

Peter has really turned out to be a nice addition to yalls group!

I would love to see an episode on painting planes. Mainly the different types of foams and how best to apply the paint as well as what type of paint works best.

[Vparanormal]

Nice idea! For planes like the F22 (which I have build and destroyed 4 ), this would be great to pre-do 2 dollar tree panels first, lightly sand, no paint, build F-22 using those 2 dried panels., then re-coat and do final coats and painting.

2:40 gave me a solid chuckle. Well done.

Next episode! Potato-gun/air cannon launched glider challenge!

Can you hot glue over the water based Minwax I know you can't over the oil based and if not what adhesive do you use to finish plane? Thank you.

Question for Peter. Why do you not recommend this procedure for the wings? BTW Awesome Idea! !!!! Thanks

I wasn't aware of the availability of craft paper. I knew the British have been covering planes with brown paper for decades but the stuff Peter uses seems really light. What are your thoughts of using it over Depron? Just thought of something. I'm drawing up a cartoon C-17 & Cessna Citation/Lear and now I'm thinking I might be able to apply the brown paper to the one side of the Depron while it is still flat and then roll the foam'paper into it's elliptical shape using the paper to force the foam into compression as opposed to it stretching. Do you think the paper would prevent it from rolling. The minimum radius would be somewhere around 1.5 inches/ 40 mm. Nice video. I have another fuselage which is a combination of light white foam block and Depron and I'm anxious to try this procedure on that. It should also work nicely on wire cut blue foam. It is 0552 in the morning so I guess there isn't any reason to go to bed. I think I'll get dressed and go to Walmart.

Does it work as well if you just apply a few coats of WBPU to the original paper then add a couple coats of the talcum powder mix to it.

I'm having so much problem to tune the kk 2.1.5 board please clear my dout

[patrickcarlin]

just wondering....can I use this method for a wood ribbed airplane???

[cha]

Just rewatched this. You can also use thinned white glue, 2:1 glue to water. May be cheaper. After watching this, I would have used this method to cover my EPO foam turtle deck for the FT Racer, see my article on FT.

Can it be used to make float waterproof ?

[mohannadmalik]

I like it your videos became short but more focused well done!

[RikkieRc]

What is that yellow double engine plane at the end of the video. Is there a build video for that one?
Greetings

[Geoffthesuperinspector]

how would you guys at flight test feel about if i decided to do this to your kraken build would it become to heavy?

[IsadoreWoW]

The sound of him painting the foam is giving me goosebumps

[tothehilt]

I'm feeling a little uneasy about peeling the paper skin off of my flying wing to implement this method. I'm looking for a waterproofing method that I can apply to the paper side of the foam core.

[featherfaller]

You think they can do a heavy fighter with paint ball guns or a fighter like a p51.

I recently got a fly sky fs- gr3e. Once it came in the mail I got it out and plugged my motor, servo, and power. She ran fine for about five minutes then, poof. Nothing! I felt the back of the receiver and it got incredibly hot. Now if I apply any power, nothing else, it starts to get hot.

Can you help me?
