Hi Jonathan, Nice paint booth setup. Sure wish could have seen you finish the plane and maybe a maiden. It was an awesome build series for sure. Thanks for the many tips and tricks you showed along the way. Looking forward to the next project. You and Katie stay safe.
Thank you for all the great videos with awesome content!! I've learned much! The end of the video series is reminding me of a book that ended different than expected. Surely would've LOVED to see you bring it to completion, but I'll get over it.
Nuts, I was hoping to see the finished project. Oh well, this was really impressive, considering that I usually paint my planes in the back yard with rattle cans. ;-)
Hi Jon, Damn you to Hell Sir !! 1) You Made me order a Hoodie 2) Clear plastic room, SOCO (Scenes Of Crime Officer , in the UK) Garb 3)Power source for air tools , cutters etc 4) Vogt Castle , being built , in the middle of nowhere, with a basement......................Lots of concrete being poured............... Something you wish to confess , or, should i still hide under my bed ?? Cheers Phil
@@thelightersideofrc It is a lot cheaper than the certified aircraft paints, some of which go over 1K per gallon kit... Local for you to, made in Alberta. Love the channel. I have to get back into building again. Been in RC since the early 70's and just about everything from .049 to turbine and heli since. Thanks from the west side of the mountains in CYXX
so what the heck my friend, I was hoping to see the completion of this thing. well at least looks like you are moving on to a Mibo Swift and I'm a glider guy from way back, flew a lot of 5-6 meter sailplanes back in the day and look forward to the swift. That is going to be some Hot liner!
Good video another way to hold thing down a cheap way rather than using double sided tape is put masking tape on the item and the other part ie table card board etc then put no name super glue on 1 of the masking tape and press the 2 parts of the masking together . This is a old trick the luthiers ( guitar builders ) use to hold router templates etc to the body and easier to remove when finished
@@thelightersideofrc Hi thats good to know I saw it a couple of years ago on youtube what you do is put the tape on 1 part then mark where it goes on the 2nd part ie dry run then put second tape on the other part. some times they also use kicker to speed it up. And unlike you I belive a guitar only needs 4 strings and a longer scale length thats where I have used this trick
Bonjour Jonathan, you are a very busy man betweew the PC6 and the futur F15. when I see how you prepare this plane for paint, OUAH ! profesional work. what kind of sand paper you used ? ( 180, 240 grs or more ). HI from France
Thanks Philippe! Yea the Mibo swift is next! There will be one more video of the PC-6 with the sliding door install. For the sanding of the primer it's wet sanding with 400. If there were any bad areas (Like a paint run) than I would start with 320 than go to 400.
Around 17:30 you talk about filling the weave of the glass with the primer, I assume this is a catalyzed primer so it cures and has very little shrinkage. I tried the paper towel epoxy glassing method and then spray priming with catalyzed primer and the weave is still quite prominent. Any tips for reducing this weave print-through? I've tackled pinholes with some filler, but the weave still remains and was wondering if a good sanding and one more coat of primer ought to do it. I've read some folks like to use foam rollers to apply the primer so it fills better. Thanks !
Did you use 3/4 oz cloth? The primer we used was endura epoxy primer. It filled it very nicely. Best thing I have seen so far and if I was to do this again would be to glass the aircraft with the water based urethane clear. Can’t remember brand right now. Simple. And from the results I’ve seen it works great.
@@thelightersideofrc 1 Oz is what I used. ( building a 101" Hawker Sea Fury) I only glassed a few smaller, preliminary parts long before ever seeing this video, and I used 1oz cloth from Ziroli. Yesterday I ordered some Deluxe model products 1 oz cloth because it supposedly has a tighter weave pattern. The Primer I am using Speedokote 2K urethane high build primer. Thank you for sharing what you used, and I may need to come back to this later on if things don't work out....and yes, i've heard of people using urethane clear for glassing! I won't knock it until I try it, at least on some test parts in the future !
I thought it was nuts too but i actually had someone send me a aileron surface from their aircraft so I could check it out. It was impressive for sure!
very nice and cheap setup mate like the setup as well and what size is a good size for painting rc planes air compressor i mean mate great video like normal mate what would you do if you had a white gel jet plane to build
Thanks! On a smaller plane you can probably get away with a smaller compressor like mine with no tank. On bigger surfaces you have the trigger pulled for so long that it uses alot of air. on a white gel coat plane, rattle cans give a great finish as well but the HVLP Spray system is just a step above.
Shit have been enjoying the build of the PC 6. Must say a bit disappointed no scale build which you stated from the start but any way great job on half the plane.
Thanks for watching guys! Hoodie Link is Here! www.thelightersideofrc.com/hoodies
I have zero intention or expectation of ever building a plane but I am addicted to these videos anyway lol
HAHA! That's awesome Robbie! Thanks for watching!😎
I’m excited for the beginning of a new build.
YES!😎🙌
Really enjoyed this build. Greetings all the way from Sri Lanka!
Awesome! Thank you!😎🙌
Hi Jonathan,

Thanks Don! Yea hopefully the owner will finish and we will get some video of the first flights! Thanks for watching!😎
Fantastic !! Congratulations for all the information shared here and for all your love and dedication to this great hobby.
Great hug from Portugal.
Many thanks! Thanks for watching!😊
On to the next project, spring is here!
YES!
Awesome 👏 video Jonathan, not going lie I am excited 😜 your going to be moving on to my glider !!!
Right on!🙌😎
Aww Jonathon!! So disappointed that I won't get to see you paint and complete that fantastic plane😖
Yea sorry Ian. It's crappy but it happens sometimes. Thanks for watching!
Aww you didn't need to say sorry!! I was enjoying the build so much I don't want it to finish there, but fully understand👍😄
Thanks 😊
Looks like one of those prepared rooms by Dexter ;-)
HAHA! 😂. Didn't even think about that!
Was the first thing I thought of too. I must be a bad person ;)
That’s hilarious 😂! You even had the white suit !!
Thank you for all the great videos with awesome content!! I've learned much! The end of the video series is reminding me of a book that ended different than expected. Surely would've LOVED to see you bring it to completion, but I'll get over it.
Awww Yea totally! Thanks for watching! Hopefully the owner will complete it and we can video some flights/maiden!
Nuts, I was hoping to see the finished project. Oh well, this was really impressive, considering that I usually paint my planes in the back yard with rattle cans. ;-)
Thanks Gryf! Hopefully we can get some flight video's when it's done.
Very cool paint booth Jon!
Thanks! Yea a permanent one would be cool but we make it work with what we have!
I really hope that you do a follow up. I would love to see the finished product and also see it flying.
Hello Leon. I'll do my best to get the final and flights for this bird!😎
Great idea on the booth. Would be interesting to try on my small hangar 🤓
Thanks! Yea it's a great way to contain the overspray/dust and also create a dust free space to spray.
Hi Jon,
Damn you to Hell Sir !!

Haha! Nice Phil!🤣😂
Nice work, greetings from Remi from Belgium
Thanks Remi! Thanks for watching!
I have used Endura for years, the more you use it the better you will like it.
Nice! Great stuff but holy heck it's expensive!😳

@@brentgalye2936 WOW! For Aircraft = Expensive! makes Endura look cheep! Yea it is nice that it's local. Thanks for watching and get back into it!

great job ,will you get any video of the aircraft flying looks good
Thanks Demetrio! Yea that's the plan!
I just had a question. Do you seal or glass the inside/outside edges of the control surfaces? Or just paint over the bare balsa?
Either is fine but my preference is to glass them

Have you ever seen anyone with a yf-23 blackwidow rcturbine jet? I have seen lots of jets but never that one. i seen it with edf tho..just asking.
No Never seen that! I had to google it as I had no idea what it was! What a unique wing!
very nice and cheap setup mate like the setup as well and what size is a good size for painting rc planes air compressor i mean mate great video like normal mate what would you do if you had a white gel jet plane to build

@@thelightersideofrc the spray gun finish is better looking than spray cans for larger jets you would need a bigger air compressor as well
WHAT !!

Good stuff but talk way too much!!!
Noted! Thanks for watching!
Yeah, paint booth, good try, just admit you are corona proofing your house ;)
HAHA! Rona Proofing the Garage!😂
