    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:

    Createx Colors is the number one, most widely used and trusted airbrush paint manufacturer in the world.


    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).
    Light travels faster than sound, so people may appear to be bright until you hear them speak.

                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.
