In the paint booth for some primer. The rotor has been started. Not shown is the tail rotor.

Very nice, Lou. Do you put a twist in your rotors like you do your props, or just tilt each of them?

lastvautour · August 24, 2025, 09:29:00 AM

Thank you Jordan. I just induced a droop. At rest, Rotor blades have no twist but rotate to attain positive angles for flight.

Blue is curing.

Excellent! I love your creative use of clothespins to make a stand. That's great!

lastvautour · September 04, 2025, 08:10:52 PM

The blue is taking longer to cure. It may take a few days.

Decals printed. White discs are hole-punched for the background to the roundels, as cutting out roundels that size when printed on white film is problematic.
