Thanks Philflyer. I use fine line tape which is like a vinyl tape I have used masking tape before and had the same problems with creeping though I have never tried what Martin has said, the fine line tape I can really recommend it not only gives a great edge but using the 1/4" I was able to go around corners fairly easily the taping around the canopy at the front was done in one continuous piece of tape no joins and no bleed through at all I have some more pictures of it in my album though your not allowed to zoom in to close lol.

Hi all, well I received my canopy last Wednesday from Vortex and after some cutting and trimming I think it looks ok, I have now finished the model and maiden will be in around two weeks so the paint can harden off before I run the old HP 61. Steve

Hi Chaps, thanks for all the replies/suggestions. As I said before I had E mailed Vortex Vacforms yesterday and this morning I had a reply complete with photos with measurements on, they do have one which is very close so I am going to order one from them and see how we go. I will let you know how I get on. Thanks again Steve

Yes looks a very nice finish well done Dave. You will notice a big difference in flying it at the new weight. -

HI Redex I was lucky enough to find an brand new unstarted kit it has fibre glass fuz and foam core balsa covered wings and tail plane which I then fibre glassed, it is my first attempt at spraying and am fairly pleased with it but did learn a lot in doing It (my typhoon I painted with a brush) it was also a first in me using paint masks (from flight line graphics) certainly easier than making my own as I did on my typhoon. The power comes from a Jets Munt 140XBL turbine which produces 140N (31.5lbs) of thrust, lights are from braincube. A link to the maiden its a bit boring being as it was tail heavy I just wanted it to be a safe flight. **LINK** Steve -
