Been a while since my last post so Ive updated a few things.  There have been additional pictures added to the Giant Aeromaster re-cover project as it is now completed and delivered.  The Sig Kadet Seniorita partial build is underway and a page has been created for project photos.  The static display Top Flite DC-3 is also underway and progress photos have been uploaded.  Page links are at the left…enjoy.

Giant Aeromaster Re-cover

Posted By on February 21, 2013

Started the re-cover job on the Giant Aeromaster this week.  Original was built in 2006 with an electric conversion and painted fabric finish but ended up too heavy due to the light yellow paint taking way to many coats to cover.  Check out the gallery links on the left sidebar.
