Default RE: Skynight 6

So there's some left out there! Good to hear. Thanks for the link to the pictures. I've come across those as well. I plan to stay true to that paint scheme with the colors I use on my F3C helicopters (cream, orange, red, and white).

Frank, Mark,
Yep, Ralph White did this kit also. Be great to hear his comments if he's following along! The plans note the dihedral is measured at the wing tips, so I believe you are correct. I'll cross reference the plans too...

The plans are dated '79. The plan notes suggest using epoxy to bond the stab, but polyester resin to fuel proof the firewall area. I think the fuse is resin, not epoxy?

What are people using for bonding wing sheeting these days? I think I've read that polyurethane glues are popular now, which brand?
