Hi Papaone,
Yes, I have 3 models framed and ready to finish: a Black Magic VF3 (got a great deal on it a few years ago); an MK Laser; an MK Alliance. Then some cleaning of the shop and I will start work on a Naruke Hobbies Ascent. :-)

Hello

I'm doing finishing with glass cloth 25 g/m2 on the fuse and painting only in white for maiden flight if sometimes it's necessary to make some modifications.

Hi Papone,
The Arpege looks great. Could it be modified for glow? If there are plans I'd like to build one (or two...)
Thanks,
Will

Hi

Hello Rune
Nice to read you.
Awesome job !

Is it silk ? http://www.morris-hobby.jp/43_730.html
What dope do you put with silk?
Do you add talc in the dope for the finish?
Claude

RuneG

Yes its that type off silk , if its easyer with silk than thin glass I'm not really sure . Dope, I used ordinary oldfashion dope not the Ezcote thing (or what its called) and With talkum after the first coat to glue the silk.
I added fisrt the silk then 2-3 coats with talkum depending if it was needed to fill then normal Automotive filler before basecoat and finally clearcoat.
weight just under 5 kg ( I hope I can trust my weight)

both Yours looks Nice and its always Nice to see that some make their own planes , Nice work guys(Speedracertrixie and Papaone)

Hello Rune
I think silk is more lighter than glasscloth.
Did you have problems of pulling dope and talkum under paint when you removed the scotch ?

How did you cut out the graphics?....or is that paint??

papaone

Hello
Graphics are made with Oracover.
Friend of mine cut them with cnc.

RuneG

some few Places Claude i think maybe those Places I got to much thinner and talkum in the dope the thinner disaper but if the dope is to thin it dont "glue" the talkum good, or maybe it was to thich layer at those spots it was at leading and trailing ends off wings and stabs this happen.
If silk or glass is lightest I really dont know , this has nothing to do With the weight off the material but it has I think With the materials way to "Close" for the dope so it not goes in to the balsa , but also how much filler you need, One thing is that the silk is not as loose in the weaw as the glass but thats makes it a bit more dificult to work With but not much ; I also tried to used a hot iron on it to make it flat but that was diffucult , so I hang the pieces in my work shop and sprayed it With water and let i dry before using it
