Thank you.

Today I will get the rest of the covering done. Control surfaces and fuselage, then I will start the PolyCrylic coats, 3 total. This thing will fly someday. Sure glad I bought the ARF so I am able to fly that while this slow process goes on.

re: The ARF. The covering on that thing won't stay tight. I have tightened it three times now using an iron and following the method in the manual. When I finish, it's tight as a drum.

I take it out to the flying field and after it sits in the sun in the pits for a while, all the black stuff loosens back up and looks like hell. Wrinkles all over. We live in an area where the humidity is super low, but the temperature is often over 100 degrees in the shade. The SIG Oracover or whatever they call it does not do well in the heat.
