David Duckett | 01-Feb-16 01:55 | One of the ways to help prevent warping with thin balsa construction is to add cross bracing like this, also used in the Pilatus and Beaver. I also applied a coat of filler and sanded it smooth before doping the framework. The frame, or any area to be covered, gets at least two coats of dope before covering starts. |
David Duckett | 01-Feb-16 02:07 | I covered this wet and another trick is to do it quickly. The first side covered will tend to warp so I cover the other side as soon as possible. The first side will not be completely dried when the second side is covered so the pressure caused by the shrinking dope will affect both sides at the same time. "For every action....." :-) |
