My JAE 21 and Phil Thomas Sport 40 Build

[wparsons]

If you want a really friendly to use paint (especially if you don't have a proper booth with lots of ventilation!), give this stuff a try:

https://www.autoaircolors.com

It's easy to work with if you follow the directions (requires light coats with hair dryer/heat gun curing in between), and is basically odorless. I sprayed my DF26 hatch on the kitchen table last night and 10 minutes later you couldn't smell anything at all.

They say you need a larger airbrush tip (0.5mm), but it sprays fine through my 0.35mm tip if thinned a bit with their reducer.

The biggest benefit is that it's all water based, so cleaned up is SUPER easy. If it drys on the gun a bit just use airbrush cleaner or windex then tap water to flush it out.

They also sell in hobby friendly sizes (4oz bottles).

Let her rip!!

Definitely exceeded my expectations...with a modified H-5 everything was cool to the touch, so I've got plenty of prop left to go...

New layout

I did some more testing on my P-Limited JAE recently and have changed the internal layout a bit as the transom seemed a bit light with my previous weight distribution. New layout below.

I've also included an Eagle Tree chart of my last test run with a S-15 prop. There is definitely more to be had with this setup.
