anything but yellow

Another vote here for the white wing.
Colors By Dave, custom paint - Tex - 10-04-2006
If I was to race and the track was large or had some hard to see spots I might use the yellow wing for the simple fact that you would have no doubts which side is front or rear.
Colors By Dave, custom paint - AddictedtoNITRO - 10-04-2006
nice job dave I would vote yellow cause the white kinda looks to narrow
just my .02
Colors By Dave, custom paint - Tex - 10-05-2006
See, I'm the opposite, I am partial to the narrow wings. The regular sized buggy wings on trucks looks like a civic with a big'ol wing on the back.
Colors By Dave, custom paint - Ponch - 10-05-2006
I like both, but I personally think the TTR one is too narrow...Needs to be like 1/2 way closer to a full size wing.
Colors By Dave, custom paint - Tex - 10-05-2006
My wings I've ran on my Revo the last year and a half have all been shorter than the TTR wing. haha
Colors By Dave, custom paint - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 10-05-2006
and technically isn't there a wing width rule ??? I recall reading that buggy wings on trucks was a possible no-no.
Colors By Dave, custom paint - Tex - 10-05-2006
that was correct, the wing was not supposed to be wider than the body. Although since then the rule has been thrown out

Well, this is news..... some of you may visit the CFX Paintworks site from time to time, but the guys there had a neat thing going on. They had a project to take a novice painter, give him lessons, and evaluate and guide him through the process of airbrush painting. Well, they had another guy named Fester doing the project, but he had to drop out for personal reasons. When that happened, I tossed my hat into the ring to be his repalcement. Well, long story short, they interviewed me, checked my references, and gave me the spot to pick up the program.
So, I will be the "monkey on display" over at CFX while they try to make me a better painter. If you like to laugh, or poke fun at an old guy, stop in once in a while and view the progress.
It should be a wild trip, to say the least.
My Guidance Counselor for the class is Mike Czech!

Jerry, yeah I figured I could keep learning slowly on my own, or get pushed by the CFX staff to get better quicker. I take critism pretty well, and at the end of the day, it's only the comments from the CFX staff, you, and Mike that will guide my learning.
btw, they signed you up as the gym teacher.....didn't they tell you?

looks nice, i like the shinyness i can see you taking the pic.
Colors By Dave, custom paint - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 10-12-2006
I figured my wife gets shiny stuff, why shouldn't I??
And when she saw it, she said:
"Is that a crack pipe, or what?"

My birthday is coming up....cough....Custom Micron series...cough...(can't blame a guy for trying!)
Colors By Dave, custom paint - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 10-12-2006
I saw Aldo posted pictures of his RichPen Mojo and Moflo brushes...nice stuff starting at $300....and up!
If you didn't spend all your money on titanium, you could have both of them by now.
Colors By Dave, custom paint - Obsessive R/C - 10-12-2006
Unless you retouching photos or doing some serious illistration, I don't feel a $300 airbrush is going to be a benefit. I've seen some really killer work done with the HP-CS. Until my skills can out perform the Eclispe series or my Grex, the high dollar ones are of no use to me.
Colors By Dave, custom paint - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 10-12-2006
nice dave whats the difference b/w the cs and cr?
Colors By Dave, custom paint - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 10-12-2006
about $90....no seriously, accordingly to CFX's Charlie B, the big diff is that the Eclipse has more/better airflow. Other than that, the cutaway handle/exposed needle chuck. I onl ypicked it up because none of the Hobby Lobbys I called had a Revo CR in stock and I had a 40% of coupon to burn on the last day it was good. So I got the CS for just a little more than a CR would have been at reg price.
Colors By Dave, custom paint - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 10-12-2006
ohh my bad i was thinking revolution lol i was like man i never heard of the CS hahaha
Colors By Dave, custom paint - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 10-12-2006

Colors By Dave, custom paint - Obsessive R/C - 10-13-2006
The HP-CS is the gravity feed version of the one I have (HP-BCS) you'll like it.
