Default RE: Ace Extra 230 33% Fiberglass

Man..... Ijust lost 2 paragraphs on my progress since my last post so I'll paraphrase. Finishing up the structural work on both wings getting ready to do the sheeting. I've done some testing with DAPWeldwood non-flammable contact cement and it works great on these white bead (EPS) foam cores - much better than aerosol - just followed the directions on the can. Peel test - either the balsa shreds (leaving balsa behind), or it pulls the foam up with it, as compared to the spray-on ashesive where the balsa separated from the foam. So this is what I'll use to sheet the wings. Panels will be made in the conventional manner - Iuse Super-Phatic (Ontario Adhesives)for the seams. I'll post some pics in a couple days.
Thanks, SnR
