Default RE: Impact

In view of some latest developments, the broken fuselage I have in my shop will be sanded to remove the paint of the model, and the tail will be re-glassed completely around the fuse. I am using 2 oz glass cloth and am covering the area from the wing's trailing edge to the tail post, and going about halfway up on the fin. I am estimating approximately 3 1/2-4 oz weight gain. Since I will be using very lightweight tail surfaces on the model, the weight gain will be off set by the surfaces' weight so it should come out fine in the end. I will try to post some progress photos

Good luck to all who are finishing up the standard IMPACT
