RE: Silk and Dope finish thread? Any Interest?
Chip,
The Stinson I'm building is a small one, 57" wing designed for a .40 size engine. Kitted by Sterling models a long time ago. The kit is intact and in excellent condition. a little yellowing around the edges of the plans though. I plan on putting a 70 - 82 4 stroke in it, so i'm not too concerned about weight. Back in the days when i was active and my father before that, all we did was go to the LHS and buy some silk and dope and put it on. There wasn't a lot of choices like you have now i guess. I'm in no way an expert builder, but I have the advantage of learning the craft from my dad years ago. My models are good 10 footers, but when i try to use any shrink covering, they get to be more like 30 footers! I won't have time to even start this kit for a few weeks yet, but hope it comes out half as nice as MCMIKE's
