Heloo, how's everyone?
Well I got my first canopy paint job. Not mine this time.
It went great so far.
I did one color first and then couple of hours later I did the second color.
I have three more to go including the lettering.

Should be done by Thursday but by Saturday the clear should be dry.
I wont say who thw owner is. Not just yet..

Cheers

Thanks Mick
Nahh! I make more money on my daytime job.
Is just that I like doing it and help the guys out.
What kind of scheme would you like on your plane??

Hey Billy, I would be pleased if I could buy a fiberglass canopy for my titan and give it to you to paint eventually when you have some spare time, you are just great with the brush, I would love to have a canopy painted like that.....

Great job Bill! You paint like a pro. By the way in a tread last month you were talking about a electronic "Inclinomètre" to measure blade angles, where can I find one?:confused:

I guess my customer liked the canopy I did for him last time so, he gave three more to do.

Been very busy at work and home that's why I've been absent from the field.

The canopies are 2 700's and one 600 Align trex's.
While I was at it I started up my Eurocopter and she looks and sounds good.
Hopefully I can fly this weekend.

I will have time this weekend for shure.

The canopies have to be clear coated and they are done.
Enjoy the photos.
