I am going to fly my PC9 1 centimetre off the ground at full throttle

0.393700787401574803149606299212598 inches is what i was trying to get at!

Done sanding and filling (sneeze)! Covering starts this weekend and I will be using profilm. Whats the feeling on using a primer? How does the profilm stick over the ply sides?
Who's got a good idea on fixing the fuel tank? Fit in some rails and wedge with foam?

No need to use primer on profilm.

My tank is wedged in by foam.

Woo hoo, i see we have gone through 3000 posts [sm=bananahead.gif][sm=RAINFRO.gif]

Foam is enough - especially if you are running a YS 63 - dont matter where you put it then !

just read the review, high praise indeed. says just about all we say here. you might not know $h*t when it comes to aeros, but the Capiche will make you think and look like you do

you said it. That did not apply to me as i never will want to own a capiche.

All this has made me realise how good my Wot 4 is.

i used balsaloc on the ply sides... Probly not needed but makes it much nicer to put on. Id recommend it. Fuel tank... I also wedged it in wiv foam.

Mr Sun Brown !!! Hows the Gym going - feeling any better yet... !?


Dont answer that question - lets keep on topic !

ASM... and anyone else... Ive used Profilm a bit and never bothered with any primers.. and its never shifted.

what abou this fuel proofing, will ANYTHING witstand a leakage of 20%

a one inch layer of concrete should do the trick

otherwise a thin layer of epoxy resin or clearcoat

you see that house on grand designes last night? now thats allot of concrete! lol

Thinking of colour schemes, how heavy is profilm? cos i got a great design, well 2, but there real complex and need kots of film. the other is quite simple.

I dont know exact weigths of profilm, but if you want to save weight use the clear and/or metallic stuff , because its a bit lighter than the solid colours

probably why most artfs use metallic or clear profilm

i was thinking yellow, red and white or red, orangey yellow and black. or th boring scheme will be white, metallic purple and yello and a bit of red.

My scheme is white base with blue LE and yellow after that (like example on capiche website) but there is Capiche 50 written on one wing and stars on the other so I can distinguish more easily. Also a flameball on one side of the fuz, with Capiche 50 upside down on the other side. On the underside of the wings there is a sort of sunburst pattern with red,yellow and orange maybe.

Simple but easy to see in air (I hope)

Hi

blobs. glad to see my 3 views live on even if half of my website is no more Archie if you want those 3 views on your site let me know and i'll send the files over.
For the time being Philsrcworld is more of an island...

i used balsaloc on my fuz sides for solarfilm

er, phill, they are on the C50 site lol.

I got that blobs idea from the Matt brothers on their big 3W extras

ok, fair enough forgot that oh master of all knowledge

Be more original and go for the flames!

thats wot i said in the first place. i liked making them for my flip cowl but would it be visable in the air?

If the yellow and orange is bright enough you will see it all right. Try some fluorescent orange- gives you a headache looking at it on the ground but is easy to see in the air.

I will try to upload my dodgy scheme (made with Tesco Value colouring pencils) but no gurantees.

Go for blobs I say.
