Default RE: Another "Screamin Demon" Delta build

Thanks!
I bet that little sidewinder really hauls... That plane was part of the inspiration for what I am doing to this poor SD.
I wasn't having a good night with balsa last night. (Even with the ammonia.) The grain orientation I was trying to use just didn't work, plus a bit less stiff balsa helped.

That new bondo sounds like a lot better product, my memories of bondo go back to using a cheese grater to take off the glaze then start sanding. As far as fillers, the most part I use micro balloons and epoxy but it's a bit harder to sand, I've got to try some of that new bondo.

I think it will be interesting to see if this has any real effect on a .40 size airframe even though my power may be marginal.
