Sounds cool. One of our Fly Baby guys repainted his airplane with latex, and is very happy with how it turned out.

Very cool - and right on time as I'll be into covering territory on the Nieuport soon enough.

Sharon and Dick Stark's Morane is painted with latex and looks incredible - one would never know it's household exterior if one wasn't told.

Wow, I saw this just in time. I am going to try to hook up. I have used latex for R/C planes and plan to use it on my N17 project. Any tips I can pick up will sure be appreciated.

It was a great presentation - right on point, well organized, and put in simple terms for knuckleheads like me. Sure filled in a lot of blank spots in what I had read about using latex.

I was also really impressed that Mr. Morrison balanced the need to show his excellent (okay, scarily perfect) workmanship with a "no big deal, you're looking at the end of a lot of error filled trials, you can do this, too." And that he freely admitted that while his techniques have given him bowling alley shiny finishes, there's other paths and finishes that one can achieve.

Sadly, I had to leave during the Q&A session, so I missed giving formal feedback.
