The sky is grey and the trees stripped of all their decoration. The ground is littered with season's passed. Winter is upon us.
Honoring the gloom, I present to you, "Ghost".
Edgy, right?
After losing my KiSS'd Martian II, I really wanted to experiment with Butterflight on a Martian. This being my second Butter build, I think this is going to be a trend for myself. Otherwise, the components are pretty standard. I am experimenting with much more expensive motors than I'm accustomed to- but only time will tell in that regard.
White paint is a "farm truck" grade paint (not two part). Three coats applied, 24hr between coats and light sanding. The clear is basic Rustoleum. Three coats, 15 minutes appart. 24hr rest, light sand, final coat. We'll see how well it stands up to me!
It isn't quite "slammed", but I am using 25mm standoffs. IIRC, stock standoffs are 35mm.
You'll notice Ghost is not 100%, as of yet. But soon! And I'll some pictures, as well.

AirbladeUAV has done it again and this time they've brought long range to the 5" class!
