RE: Speedy Bee
Hello; I thinned down white carpenters glue with water and painted the framed plane with that. I cut newspaper templates and fitted them. After I was sure the templates were good, I cut the Tyvek and applied it using a covering iron to tack it down and seal the edges. After I was sure everything was well attached, I went over it with the iron. Be careful though, it's easy to over heat it and burn holes in it. As you heat it it becomes semi transparent as it shrinks. you'll know just how far to go after you have burned a hole or two in it. If you do burn it, it's easy to repair, just cut a piece of Tyvek and glue it in using CA.
It's tough, it makes a durable wing, you couldn't poke a hole in it with a ball point pen. You can paint it with anything. I use it inside out as all the printing is (lets say) out of character for the plane.
I flogged that plane so bad, I took the toughness for granted until I accidently stepped on it and collapsed the inside structure. The Tyvek worked out great, a few other flyers tried it with good results.
