RE: Mosqitobite TriPacer going on the workbench.
I have not posted in a couple of days but I have been working on the tripacer. I am ready to cover the fuselage but as my wife is allergic to the nitrate dope I have to wait for her to go to work on monday. I removed the landing gear and cut holes for my radio switch to mount on the bottom of the fuselage. The belly is made from ply so the switch will mount quite securely there. I stopped by the LHS while in Spokane yesterday. I complained about the sorry state of their colored dope selection. I was told that they had the best selection on the coast, sorry as it was. They said that dope is used so little anymore that it is difficult to get. They blamed the use of Monocote et al as the reason. I had planned a dope finish, or even auto paint but now I am giving serious thought to using epoxy by Klasskote. I have used K&B Hobbypoxy on glassed balsa and was happy with the results. Has anyone out there used it on Koverall? I know it is compatable, but wondered if there are any tricks I should know. Please comment if you have used it this way.
I will post some fotos of the covering process on the Fuse. I will shoot some as I go, rather than just the finished product.
More later.
