    That looks like a neat setup. But just so you know, they do sell 2 part epoxy in a aerosol can. I use it all the time at work. There is a button on the bottom of the can that once to press, releases the hardener. The can is then good for 4 days. It works great, sprays nice, and dries pretty...

    The second picture is after I filled the sean of the wheel pants and sanded smooth with a lightweight body filler. The first picture is after I primed them and sanded them. Now I will give it one last coat of primer before I paint. These parts were so full of pinholes, so a little trick is to...

    I am looking for advice how to start covering the rest. What do you guys do about the rounded part in front of the verticle stabilizer? Do that part first?

    Another covering question

    I am working on my 35% dalton and I found what you said to be very true. If you use the iron like you are ironing a shirt, I found the covering can get scratched or dulled. If you just set it in place for a couple of seconds and move it, it works the best. After I do most of my shrinking with...

    I am so happy with this so far. As lame as it sounds, I can just look at it and be amazed I built it.

    Rudder is covered now! For some reason the silver ultracote was a bugger to work with. Maybe it was just in my head

    I am going through razor blades like crazy. Funny how one slice through covering and it's pretty much junk

    I completed elevator. Almost done with the other. This covering isn't thing isn't that bad. The curve at the front of the vertical stabilizer has me a little concerned though. Gonna just keep chipping away at it. I do have one question. I forgot to run the channel for the servo wire in the...

    So today I installed the balsa into the elevators and the rudder that my custom "Terryscustom"control horns get epoxied into. Terry recommended doing this before the leading edge balsa is glued on, but I was already past that step. It was super easy, just set the block right behind the leading...
