3DHS and Extreme Flight Merger?

[3dmike]

One thing is for sure..... The guys running smoke with that covering are gonna love no seams!!

So true! That is a great question.... and I have not heard but I am sure this has to be a new covering material since they can print on it... Printing requires heat (I believe all the time could be wrong) but how do they do that without it shrinking? Scratching my head.... will it be a covering that you never have to iron or put a heat gun to... Help me out here! LOL

Watching this now to see if it shows any of that process.

That video I don't think shows any new printing tech.

Cool video...Wonder if that was Chris on the guitar...

I read from another source that Chris was indeed credited for the music tracks.

No - I bet that new printing process is a closely guarded trade secret!

The video sound track was in fact, credited to Chris Hinson, and IMHO was very well done.

Not so quick Captain... lol I heard that question at the end of the news conference and the answer was that since they are covering balsa, that you will still need your iron and heat gun....

Man who can't be excited and worried after watching that video. Excited about all the cool stuff coming and worried about how I'm gonna afford all the cool stuff I'll want lol.

I watched the vid and yep as 3dnater pointed out no info on the new covering technique. Snow is right that yes they probably are guarding that secret but... it's china,,, you know if will be ripped off in a few days if not already!

I watched the announcement video and 2 of the other videos and have to admit that I felt better about the merger after watching the videos. They appear to have really thought this through and appear to be doing it right. I look forward to seeing planes from the Legacy and Aces High brand. Especially when they start making the the giant scale planes. I am really not interested in electric options. Nothing wrong with electric, I am just not into them.
