Many thanks for your advice Shaun and Engine Doctor, very helpful

Hi, I’m attempting the 72” Mosquito by Tony Nijhuis and thought I would try using thin CA. Nothing unusual in that I hear you say, true but I’ve mainly used Aliphatic resin up ‘til now. So will CA be enough on its own or should I go over the joints again with the Aliphatic for greater strength? Thanks, any advice will be appreciated

Many thanks John, will probably have a go at this for my latest build, the TN 72" Mossie.

Can someone please advise on how to do this, I’ve not done it before. Thanks in advance TH

Thanks Everyone who replied to my enquiry. Engine Doctor and PDT, you've got me thinking about tissue and dope again. Thank you Don, haven't heard of Ceconite before, what is it, where can you buy it please ?

Hi EarlyBird, Model is 92" span - thanks for your interest. Hi John, very useful info, will definitely follow this up at a later date when model is finished. Hmm. Many thanks.

Hi All, Has anybody any suggestions about covering my Fieseler Storch 156, from a plan by Dennis Bryant / Model World. I was thinking of completing the tailplanes in 0.8 balsa but don't have any idea what else to use on the Fus and Wings. (Having got back into building fairly recently, the last thing I covered was using tissue and dope so ignorance reigns with respect to what modern stuff is available for this). Any help gratefully considered. Many thanks in advance Tony.

Hi All, Trying to avoid going stir crazy, I'm thinking of setting a flap / down elevator mix on my, as yet unflown, Carbon Z Cessna. Has anyone any advice on this, is it necessary, if so what % to set and how will affect performance on take off. Thanks in advance, Regards, TH Edited By TH on 02/04/2020 12:04:50

Hi All, I'm just assembling my second Wot Trainer after the unfortunate demise of no.1 when the ground broke its' fall, both models being electric. Has anybody experienced problems with the nose wheel assembly and the motor stand-offs, whereby the lower stand-offs foul on the nose wheel brackets to the extent the they cannot be secured to the bulkhead. There is also a change in position of the nose wheel operating pushrod, it now exits the bulkhead on the left hand side (when viewed from the front), and this also fouls on the standoff pillar to the extent that it is rendered inoperative. If anybody has any suggestions to overcome these problems it would be very much appreciated. Many thanks in advance to all who reply.

Hi All, I'm thinking of buying a 12v battery for on field charging, anyone got any suggestions on best price, best supplier etc. Thanks in advance, Tony

Hi Guys, I have to correct my latest bonding error, no, not my wife. Does anybody know a way to break a joint bonded with aliphatic please ? Thanks in advance. Tony

Thanks Percy, you're certainly right about the amount of detail on the plan. What I'm finding most confusing is the lack of build instructions, I'm finding I have to think about two steps ahead to make sure I don't do the wrong thing, which believe it or not has already happened more than once. Also, thanks for the info re Old Warden.

Hi All, Has anybody out there ever built the Dennis Bryant plan version of the 93" Fieseler Storch from Sarik Hobbies? If so would appreciate a general chat about the build. Cheers in advance. Tony.

Many thanks to all who replied offering advice. Thanks, Dennis, so that's why I experienced some delaminating, I didn't know about the releasant on ply. I'm going to try 'Titebond Extend Wood Glue' - after lightly sanding the ply - see if that's successful.

Hi Everyone, Can anyone help ? I need to laminate 1.5mm ply sheet onto 3mm balsa to form part of the fuselage of my Fieseler Storch. What would be the best adhesive to use to avoid warping. Thanks in advance for any suggestions Cheers Tony Hobson
