tubig

spent the last couple of days covering the tail group controls and half of the fuselage. using Dave Brown's Skyloft for the the open bay rudder and elevator halves. as of now i have 2 coats of thinned nitrate dope on the covering. it will require several more to fill the weave.

for the fuse i'm using .6 oz glass cloth and polyester resin. this is the first time i've tried polyester resin and cloth and have mixed feelings using it. it's dries very quickly which is good for keeping the project moving but this also means it gives limited working time. apparently, i'm using a lamenating resin because it remains slightly tacky when cured. i've tried adding more activator but that seems to make it cure to fast to use. so after the whole fuse is covered, i'll put on a flow coat of Zpoxy finishing resin. just one more side to cover.
