Dr Honda,
another quick question if you don't mind.
I found instructions on line and steps 11/12 are about an "aluminium heatshield". Is that in your kit? And if so what is it?
Is it self adhesive aluminium tape?
I was wondering about using it on my low winger, but not sure if it is effective.

Anyone else used aluminium tape on such an aircraft???

Oh yes, and the flap movement given is 10mm for T/O and 20mm for landing.
What is that in degrees? Doesn't sound much.
On my JayTee I use 17 degrees for takeoff and about 55 degrees for landing.
