Tim Hooper Posted December 23, 2020 Share Posted December 23, 2020 Looks great - should fly beautifully! Did you know there's a 50" version too? The plan is on the Outerzone.... Just noticed the Microaces Scrappee on your bench. I have one to build over Xmas! Tim Edited By Tim Hooper on 23/12/2020 21:16:17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicholas Jarmany Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Dwain, This is looking wonderful. I have a kit arrived but sitting in the workshop at the moment. the photos of your build are making my lips water. Question - you mention you used " H.K. film ". As a novice could you enlighten me as to what this is? Not Oracover I am guessing? Also, does the film adhear to the ribs well on the concave underside? I am just wondering how a taught film can be made to follow a concave shape. If it does stick well to the ribs and that this is the key, is there a danger it could separate and become a flat surface over time/use? Merry Xmas!

Dwain Dibley. Posted December 24, 2020 Author Share Posted December 24, 2020 Hi Nick, It's Hobby King translucent film, burnt Orange. It has stuck well to the curved ribs, we will see how long it stays put in use. I have done another under-cambered wing on a vintage model called The Lancer, I used Solartex on that and it has never moved. You could use a film glue in addition to help, but I never did. I almost forgot to add the front screen, mine is a cut down version of the plan one, cos of my hatch mods. D.D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
