Spray Painting #2
I have been away on a long trip and not wanting this project came to a standstill, I brought along a long strip of paper and work on the A350 window stencil by cutting out the 56 windows bit by bit whenever i had the time.
Once back, I laid the stencil over the fuselage and give a double coat of black spray paint with ample drying time in-between. A silver window rim was added to every window by using a silver marker to follow through another stencil slightly bigger than the window.
Here is a sneak peak of my progress so far as this project is almost nearing it's completion. I am intending to include other detailed touch ups wherever possible such as adding the communication antennas (fins located on the top of the fuselage) and nacelle strakes (fins located on the engines).
The next 3-4 weeks will be reserved for other ground tests before deeming it airworthy.
1) Ground tests - eg. Make sure the aircraft is able to taxi with a reasonable turning radius.
2) Electronics - eg. All the components are already installed. Just need to do some tidying-up to un-spaghettify the wirings.
3) BEC test- eg. To run almost all 15 mini servos at once (in worst case scenario) and ensure current draw doesn't exceed the continuous current rating.
