Flight Log - 2011-12-03 - vincent penoso's Aerotech Mustang

Aerotech's Musrang Kit, ya bilge rat, Single stage labirynth baffle system. I painted this model t' reflect me idea o' a wild mustang. T' model be built stock. I did replace t' Aerotech 18" parasheet with a 21" 8-gore 1" spill hole custome chute I made built t' 35% hemisphere. My only critique o' t' aerotech line is that they fail t' mention that t' builder must decide what motor he will fly in these models usin' t' 24mm adapter. Begad! Built STOCK , and usin' t' 24mm adapter you will only be able t' use t' RMS 24-40 motors and they fit perfectly. T' Single Use motors WIL NOT fit as they are about 3-4mm longer than t' installed motor hook. Well, blow me down! T' solution is t' have 2 adapters. Other than that, I think this model is a winner. It can be assembled smartly but I take me time for every little detail. MAiden flight slated for 7.16.2011.

 

I painted t' model with a Paasche VLSO airbrush and createx acrylic paints; cured with a ryobi 110watt heat cannon at 200 degrees.
