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

Image Comments Jastafuhrer 13 18-Jan-14 22:19 The paint ids Tamay Jastafuhrer 13 18-Jan-14 23:04 Thanks for the compliments. I have another plane on my board now, a Dumas Fokker EIII. I'll post some pictures tomorrow. The gentleman at the hobby store said nobody uses dope anymore, excepin in Colorado. He recommended this Tamiya acrylic paint to seal the tissue. I'll try something else next plane. The machine guns are cocktail toothpicks. the wheel retainers are made from a scrap of the cowling plastic. Getting the spinner centered around the prop then trued up was tricky. Jastafuhrer 13 18-Jan-14 23:21 Thanks for the compliments. I have another plane on my board now, a Dumas Fokker EIII.

David Duckett 19-Jan-14 03:38 In some parts of the United States dope means a soft drink like Coke :-), or Pepsi. lukebozek1 19-Jan-14 07:48 I have two pints in the closet. It is a pain in the butt to clean decent brushes in the thinner so I wait till I have at least two planes ready. I heard about something they use in England, but I like the good old fashioned and very dependable Butyrate Dope. Jastafuhrer 13 19-Jan-14 08:23 This model was built using only the small 2"x4" instruction book that comes with a 500 series Guillows kit. Since then I've read Don Ross' book Rubber Powered Airplanes and Martin Simons' Model Aircraft Aerodynamics. The hobby store was a small owner operator business so I took his advice at face value. He also told me that I could use that paint as an adhesive for the tissue. After lurking on this board for a few weeks I realize how wrong he was. Anyway I'm sure I'll have a question or two on my next build. Is this comment section the best place for those or is there somewhere else that I'm missing? Thanks David Duckett 19-Jan-14 09:39 This is the place. Please sign in to comment on this image.
