Perfect thanks...hope to find it or something comparable.

That is supposed to be "Pactra". Duh!
poppy, Comment for image # 1019416 Dec 08 17:33
VP46, I use "Pactrsa Aero Gloss Clear" dope.

Once again poppy, beautiful work.

What kind of Dope are you using for those wings? I have a Tissue (uhu) covered F-1 racer that needs to be doped.....(my first tissue/dope job). Thx, Brent

Wing skins complete and doped. The span is 31-1/2". I think I will cover them with silkspan for a change.

Nicely done. Are you going for "solid" wing tips???
Luke War, Comment for image # 1017715 Dec 08 00:33
Poppy, can you post or email me a pic or two of the leading and trailing edges of your covered wings? Im curious to get a closer look at them...thanks!

My "clamps" for holding trailing edge and top curve in place. I like to run a glue bead along top of each rib and the length of each edge.

Masking tape holds front edge while glue sets.

I like to cover wing bottoms first.

3 section wing frames.

Very clean Poppy. Are you using the balsa sheet to pattern the panel lines?

Great! I wish it would snow here!! It's going down to near freezing tonight but it's clear as a bell.

Outstanding Poppy....I covered my Texan with tissue and covering that rear deck wrinkle free was a major challenge. Why to go Ole Man!!!

Nose contours. Rear deck will have carved balsa block when stabs are in place.

2 coats clear dope and 2 coats of sandable primer seals wood against moisture when applying filler.

Carved balsa block for curved turtle deck.

Skin complete.
