What will you use the extra 14 channels for?!!!   ;D

Aileron wires and connected buried into wing.

Wires and channels covered with fiber tape for strength.

Fiber tape covered with masking tape to accept paint.

Motor wrapped in masking tape and then epoxied in place.

The whole model has been coated with matte medium (sort of like a white glue - dries clear - paint), and then hand-brushed with white acrylic.

A battery hatch was cut from the top, and the bottom opening was filled in with stryrofoam.

I've committed to hand-painting this model. I hope it comes out nice.

I agree, looks lovely.

What's Mod Podge?

Matte medium.

A water based matte-finish clear coat. White when liquid, clear when dry.

Also available in satin and gloss finish.
