I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

I think you have to piece it,cut templates out of foil, then use their shape with the tape...a suggestion.

With this crowd, maybe you should have called it a "beerstick".

Wow! This is looking good!!

After burnishing you MUST paint the Al with a covering. Clear acrylic sealant, or eventually it will tarnish, and the effect will be lost to oxidation.

Just viewed this again....super!

I learned about this tape after three builds with Al roof flashing. Looks super. Remember when you burnish it ...it is thin. Practice first!

Since I am learning airplane jargon, may I ask what a "Cocktail stick" is?

First wing under construction. Aluminium tubes attached to cocktail stick., need gluing onto fuselage.

That is pretty fast. Hopefully the shipping charges were reasonable too. They are my favorite source for domestic tissue as there or so many color options.

Cocktail stick to be bound and glued to centre spar.

I ordered 40 magnets and a Monocoupe 90a with 40inch wingspan. Its huge and i cant wait to start it. 10days from ordering to delivery from Alabama to Sunderland, England aint bad at all. The model came in two boxes as there was so much stuff. I also purchased a magnetic notice board and this is going to be my new method of construction.
