easy and cheap decals

Recently my neighbour gave me a load of sticker paper in different colours. He said that because he didn't use them, he wanted me to have them to use for my planes.

Because the decals on my Bixler 2 were mostly gone I decided to cut a few pages into strips and put stripes on my bixler, here's the result (notice my homemade cockpit, I lost the stock one while doing nightflying, if asked I can try to make plans )

A little while later I wanted to make the Ft-racer and realised after building it that I wanted to put some decals onto it. As I wanted to do something a little more advanced I decided to take one of the yellow pages and print something on it. If I only had had the idea to put these pages into the printer earlier I could have made my Bixler alot better looking :/ the end result of the racer plane is looking pretty sweet.

After seeing the Ft-bloody wonder episode I really wanted to make one to do streamer combat and so I did. I went with the following setup:

1300Kv motor

10Amp ESC

500mah 20C 3s LiPo

With this setup I can go vertical and get flight times up to about 4minutes and because the batteries are this small, I can charge one pack while I'm flying and it will be done charging at the moment that I come in. The only problem I am facing is that I cannot fly nonstop due to heat issues XD.

After testflying it I got the idea to make it look as good as it flies. Having alot of stickerpaper without any colour (just white) I got the Idea to print some nice decals onto it. So I searched some pretty nice images on Google.

I found these nice flames and turned them into a Word file

At this moment I put some paper into the printer and made a test print. It looked pretty nice so I printed them on the stickerpaper.

 After printing them I started sticking them onto my Bloody Wonder

starting to look sweet

now I only have to wait until my flybuddy gets here so we can fly this badboy
