scigs30 | Comet Corsair | Parked | 19-Jun-10 20:57 | ![](user_aircraft_thumb100/18310.jpg) | Views : 801 | Just came back from 7 days in Santa Barbara on vacation. While I was there I was able to visit Collect Air, awsome shop and full of history. I was able to dope all the structures and put this plane together. Without landing gear she weighs 23 grams. With landing gear, 30 grams. I will be busy again this week, but will slowly begin the painting process. |

scigs30 | Comet Corsair | Build | 12-Jun-10 17:18 | ![](user_aircraft_thumb100/18265.jpg) | Views : 759 | Been real busy lately, but had a couple of free hours to begin covering. I am using the white domestic tissue that came with the kit. Since I built this per the plans I figure Esaki would warp this thing in all directions. I am also covering dry since the tissue is a little older, but wet would be a good option. I am using 50/50 Elmers/water to attach the tissue. After it was all said and done, everything came out nice and tight with no wrinkles or warps. Now I am off for a weeks vacation and I am heading out of town. When I come back I will apply 2 coats of dope and begin painting. The other day someone on EBay was selling Comet kits still wrapped in the shrink wrap for 10 -15 bucks each so I bought them. |
