I sealed the deck,cowl,and wings with 3/4 oz glass cloth and z-poxy. They are curing now. When they cure I'll trim the excess cloth away.Im waiting on my 3s pack;but as I was looking around I found some A123 lithium Ion cells . I like this setup because it lets you wire up you own packs. It also appears that the lithium ions can take a little more abuse than the lipos.

Check it out: sealed and primed cowl

Ya man, good job will look sweet painted,nice and clean and the exhaust ports look great,, very nice.....

Heres the deck primed. There are a few high spots along the inside of the left sponson. Ill knock that down and re-coat it.Ill seal and prime the bottom then Ill apply a basecoat of gloss white.The cowl wasnt "perfect" either; If I would have used glass mat instead of cloth it would have been more rigid and easier to work with.All in all Im satisfied so far with the results. Hopefully a good guise and glossy paint will keep yalls eyes off my imperfections. LOL

This is slowing my build but theres nothing left but the guise to paint on the Atlas Im just letting the base coat cure. Attached photo: I wanted to try this brushed motor Im my circus 1/8 th before the screamer went in, so Id know what it can do.
