Zilla,
Its Brodak silkspan and dope. Sprayed with my new Harbor freight touch up gun. Used a silver primer. Colors are Brodak insignia white, red, blue and silver. The red took several coats to cover well for some reason, but it didnt add much weight. Overall I'm pretty pleased. After final finishing I'll let you know how she performs.
Thanks for the compliments.
Brian

Your Magnum is red, white and grey, and Ion is green with envy! '(

Beautiful! Well done and you have good taste!

I'm gonna dowload that picture and shamelessly steal your scheme, is it OK?

God bless you!

In Christ,

Your Magnum looks quite stunning in your color scheme.
Great AUW as well.
Any chance of some flight reports..?

Good flying

Very Nice! ;)#7 source

I just love the ST 51's, they have plenty of power and are not too heavy. Flew my 64 oz. SV 11 for a long time on one and it never had any trouble pulling the plane.
Give us a flight report!

Dont worry about the mule going blind 'til you get the cart loaded!

one of the best ones I've seen. I hope to steal some ideas from your scheme on the next one I complete.

Hey, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!!

Rest assured guy’s, this is going to be an arss kicker. I have flown two Magnums that were powered with the ST.51 and together they make a super combination. The original Magnums were powered by the ST .46 and at times I wished they had just a bit more power in the wind but were quite good for the most part. The ST.51 should be one of the best out there for the money. Really nice job Brian.

Sorry to be late to the party on this thread but I just had to agree, the plane looks great. That is just how a plane is supposed to look. I am glad to see that others agree. Now just don't clunk your plane up with any numbers or other junk.

I agree with you, Floyd, the darn thing looks so good that anything might jsut spoil its looks.

Well, mayje just the numbers, but please,

DON'T TART IT UP!!!!!!!

God bless you!

In Christ,
