Default RE: The Evolution of the Foam Flip 3D Flipper

I won't bore you with the details of covering the wing other than to say that I used H9 Ultracoat Lite because it is what is available at my LHS. I have never been a fan of the transpearant covering but it is the lightest available at my LHS so that's what I used. I ironed on great at 4 - 4.5 on my H9 Covering iron with a sock very quickly. The Depron takes this heat without any trouble although I didn't linger in any one place for too long with the iron. I could not warp the wing with the covering, Iron or Heatgun shrinking the Ultracoat Lite. I am impressed with the ridgidity of the foam wing.

Time to move on to the Fuse. Not much to do but round the edges and install the motor mount.
