Default RE: Finished my Ultimate Bipe

When there are only a few parts it's easy to go fast. I used Sigment, thin CA, Gorilla Glue and epoxy. Most of the few parts are hardwood so I used epoxy for the most part so I had a lot of down time waiting for it to set up. Sigment was pretty nice to go back to for a change of pace.
There are only two open areas on the fuse sides so other then the foam wings there shouldn't be any real hanger rash problem. The covering stuck pretty well and I don't use any type of stickum very often. Once in a while a squirt of lacquer hair spray if I think it's needed. My problem with the covering was the static effect, it likes to fold over and stick to itself when your trying to lay it out to iron. Not a huge problem but it happened with every piece!! I may give it a try on the open bay electric planes I have on the back burner?? Next up will be something a bit bigger and more work.
