| I could just see this on my patio with all my cats plastered against the windows meowing to be let out. |

| We are birders on the east coast. What is the bird in the foreground with the red head? |

| A very neat and tidy installation. That's a long run time for an electric. Can't get cas engines to run that long. Super! |

| Well, that should be enough to get you across the channel. |

My guestimate is 50-60 grams after final covering (at the moment it "feels" very close to my Guillows Cub 95). My scale is elsewhere at the moment. Run times on this setup (with the Parkzone "Ember") are approximately 15 min.+ at full throttle, cruise times average 20-25 min. and with thermal activity a timed 43 min. with leftover "Juice". |

Here's what I have. You know, when it says "WARNING! Use only in well ventilated area" it's got to be some good sh... stuff! "Better living through chemicals" Seriously, this is a pretty "Bad News" concoction. |

| Since this is a polyester tissue thats completely sealed I'm using "Stix-it" (same as Balsa-loc I believe). It's a heat sensitive adhesive (like what's on the back of iron-on film coverings). Paint it on where you want it (normally one applies it to the frame to be covered) i.e. leading and trailing edges, tops and bots of ribs and so on, let it dry (5 min. or so, it's totally non-tacky in this state), use a covering iron to apply covering. What's really nice about this technique is that one can "Move" and "Pull" wrinkles or slack areas just by using the iron to re-heat and moving the covering with the iron itself before or after overall shrinking. Works great with "Poly-span" (John O!), "Lite-span", "Cover-Rite"(polyester fabric covering, perfect for "Stearmans", he he, and inexpensive too!) and such. Compatable with dope. Great with fabrics for interiors, seats, etc. Basically it's liquid hot glue. Should work fine with tissues and silkspan but I haven't tried with moistened covering, yet. |

| Interesting, Phil. What kind of glue are you using on these joints? I usually use the 'floppy disk' method, but this looks like it suits the tissue covering a bit better. |

Makes a really nice tight, bind and slop free hinge. I was quite surprised with the range of movement available. The "Goop" smears clean off easily with a little dope thinner and a Q-tip. |

Finished product. Covering thickness build-up created a misalignment on leading edge though. |

Covred tail-feathers and hinged via this method. Top to bottom, bottom to top, and so on. Don't exactly know what this method is called. Quite labor intensive. |
