| jgood, I am thinning mine 70/30 at it is a little better but still a little rough. Have you noticed using Ezedope prevents the fragile structures from warping? |

| I concur with scigs on the 'smooth finish' thing. However, a 50:50 watered-down mix helped a lot with that. It wasn't 100% perfect, but much much better. Not sure if you tried that, scigs? I may try a 60:40 water mix next, see if it still shrinks enough to pull tight. I like the fact that it is meant to be fully water proof once dry. |

| I just tried Ezedope and the end result was it does not leave a nice smooth finish. I diluted it and brushed it on but still had blotchy spots and was rough to the touch. It was a bit smoother on Esaki but does not look good on domestic tissue. It does not add weight, attaches the tissue nicely and attaches tissue to tissue awesome. Also great at preventing warps. I think I am going to dry nitrate dope first then brush on the EZEdope to see if that is smoother. |

Got a nice circuit out of this one too, now need to put better rubber into it. Seems to have a tendency to tip-stall at the end of the flight - need more washout? |

Test glide for the Trojan. Not too bad. |

| Thanks all. Luke, I got the Eze Dope from my local hobby shop. Looks like it's available on Amazon too. |

| WOW...this is looking very nice......... |

Eze Dope was quite nice to use, diluted 50/50 with water. It doesn't have the smell of Nitrate Dope, nice to use. |

Charles choice of covering! Jap tissue, with Eze Dope. |

The chosen colour. His favourite. Jap tissue - so much stronger than the supplied Guillow tissue, amazing stuff. |

| Nevermind - just re read your post. This is a TU-2. Two seat trainer. Still cool. |

| I think its unusual to see these without any of the mission packages on them. Great shot - thanks for sharing. |

Wow. This just flew over... So cool! TU-2R from Beale AFB. |
