Gesso, as in Jesse, is made to prepare nearly any porous surface for painting. It is used primarily to prime raw, or unprimed, canvas. The combination of these two will produce a finish smmoth as glass and with all the holes filled. It also makes the wood harder. Gesso is used directly from the bottle and produces a flat white which covers quite well. |

| Reminds me of a joke about an elephant and a saloon. The rudder turned out nice. |

Warm weather has allowed the covering to start. The wings are done and today should see these pods done. The hubcap is made from styrene. |

| The idea comes from the large Top Flite kits. |

| I'm going to try that on the Ailerons and flaps of the A-26. |

| That's smooth. Those rudders are a little tricky, even on the baby I did. |

Ready to cover |

Taped and pinned together |

1/16" wood was tapered in the back and the front glued to the styrene, a bit of filler, and sanded smooth. |

...to make the wing air intakes. They fit flush with the leading edge so wood must be removed. |

1/8" wide thin styrene wrapped and glued around a 1/16" balsa form |

| Thanks, DD. Posting a pic of my structure next. |

This is three pieces of 3/32". The center piece is framed with pieces on both sides for the front and bottom. 1/16" x 3/32" strips are glued on to simulate the structure. It will be sanded to an airfoil and covered with silkspan. |

| He did live by the sea but decided the desert would be better for his old age. I'll post a photo of the assembly. |

| I thought he lived by the sea. That is really looking good. What did you do there on the rudders? (That I could use instead of silkspan)- :) |

My new Chief of Staff, Puff, is rumored to have magical powers. |
