Mike, Thanks for the reply. I am using an OS 160 twin FS for power. I also have enough Koverall to do the job. I have plans to do a 1/3rd scale Super Cub down the road a ways. I'm hoping for better results this time around. Do you put the fabric on wet or do you wet it afterwards to shrink it?
Seems like allot of dope and thinner, but I can always use it up later on.
Thanks again, Mark
Mark,
Silk is usually put on wet, actually lightly dampened with a spray bottle. Coverall is put on dry then heat shrunk with a temperature calibrated iron. Yes, it seems like a lot of dope but much of it will be used if you spray. The leftovers can be used towards your next project. PS: Nitrate is not fuel proof while butyrate is.
