Tim, My plan is to put the Poly Fiber Smooth Prime and paint on with a fine nap roller. A Pulsar builder in my chapter used this method with beautiful results. Bought the roller and pan at Lowes (about $6). Poly Fiber says there is no RF attenuation through any of their paint products over fabric or fiber glass. Carbon fiber will drastically attenuate RF signals. I will be camping in the camp ground in my pop-up. Look for me in the Workshop area showing folks how to use epoxy and fiber glass.

Well guys, in between rain storms and overtime at work, I am finaly ready to shoot the top coats on my bird.I am still using Stits Navada silver. Now before I get flooded with e-mail, I did a test for radio interference. Now I know that this is not a very accurate way to test it but I sprayed two coats of paint on a cardborad box, and transmitted to an aircraft in flight from underneath it, I belive this would simulate any interference form the paint. I am also using a canopy mounted ant. I have finished wet sanding the entire airframe and finding areas to spot puddy, I will apply a sealer coat before the paint. My plan is to camp with my plane at airventure this year, is anyone else going to do this? Tim KR2 N7038V
