Red Bull’s base colors are dark blue and silver, check! I know that weight is going to be an issue
but until we get the electronics sorted a little better I went with Hobby King
covering as it is WWAAYY cheaper than the Parklite covering I wanted to use. HK
is $9 for 5 meters vs $19 for 2 meters of Parklite. The covering weighs 3oz on
the plane plus more when I get the graphics on there. I think the Parklite will
be about half of that. Next time… The tail feathers are going to stay white on
this prototype also, the next plane will have them cut from dark blue Coroplast
to match. I will laser cut all the major logos to get a good idea on the total
weight of the covering.
The
graphics are all trademarked so there is 0 chance of finding commercially
available decals that will come anywhere close to fitting. Sooooo a couple of
hours of CAD work and BAM! We have logos that fit. Ran out of day again so these will have to wait for next time.
