Default RE: Guillows' Zero RC Conversion

Time to finish up the sheeting! I need to fuel-proof the area around the firewall, but given all of the stringers and formers it's not going to be easy. I've decided to apply the sheeting using epoxy resin. I'm thinking that if I brush a thin coat on the inside of the sheeting that it'll serve as both glue and fuel-proofing. I put resin on the firewall, longerons and stringers first, and after wetting the outside of the 1/32" sheeting so it's flexible, I attach it using rubber bands and pins. The Zero's fuselage is largely circular and there aren't many compound curves so the sheeting goes on easily!
