Default RE: fiberglassing

Glassing a plane is not difficult in itself, but does require effort and time. To find out about your filler compqtibility, take a test piece of balsa and apply some of the filler to it. Let it dry completely for at least a week. Apply a small piece of fiberglass and resin or epoxy over the test piece and let it dry. You may have to make two test pieces to try both types of resins. Polyester and epoxy.

For a super good authority on glassing that lives in your area, go over to Modaire Hobbies on Louise and Main in Manteca. Next to Orchard Supply. Look for Charlie. He will likely be in the back working on RC cars for the Christmas customers. First hand, personal directions always work better than written ones.
