Stealth Build Complete!
Hi All,
Two warm days was all we needed for priming, sanding, priming and top coat painting the STEALTH!!!
We used Rustoleum 2X gray primer, filled any remaining imperfections with wood filler, sanded the whole darn rocket with 320 grit paper and then top coated with flat black 2X primer. Not sure if we'll add any more paint as the flat black primer gave it the "stealth military" finish we were looking for.
Next warms days we will run the ground testing of the DD altimeter and ejection charges.
First flight will be on an I-285R followed hopefully by our L2 attempt on a J425R!!!
Next build is a Hangar 11 4" X-15, kit should arrive this weekend!!!
Cheers,
Matt and Nate
