Delta Force 35 in. Pirate from OSE

[Beaux]

Got my Pirate in a couple days after Mem. day. Went with a tp 4070 2200 kv and a 180 hobbywing seaking.
Also a stinger , rudder and turn fins all from OSE. Here is the first couple of pics. I filled in the two front scoops and the windshield groove
to change it up a little.

After watching Darin, I got to work on my flood chamber.

I also put another layer of glass in the bottom and under the deck, probably didn't need it but its in there.

Very nicely done!!!

[Beaux]

Thank you sir.

[Tamelesstgr]

I agree, simple, clean, well done.

[Beaux]

That's kind a what I was after, the KISS method. Thanks!!

How did you mask off the stars, decal, stencil?

[Beaux]

My wife has a silhouette CAMEO that cuts vinyl . She printed a page full of stars I pulled the back ground and picked every other one out and layed them on. After 6 or 8 layers of clear you can hardly feel them.

[Tamelesstgr]

That's awesome, how do you upload the shapes you want cut out?

[Beaux]

It is attached to the computer , it will cut any shape or any font you can dream of .

OOH, how much does she charge? Could come in very useful for a lot of folks I bet?
