Hi Gang,
OK,
I just spent the hour trying to get the covering on the Avistar looking better on the bottom of the wing.
I did manage to ge one bad spot out with an iron and so now instead of a large loose area I have a spot that looks like an area full of thin ripples.
No proplem as it's stuck to the wood.
My problem is the worst areas are under the leading edge.
I tried and then went with a hot blow dryer thinking it would shrink when it cooled.
I just can't get the skin tight.
I used to cover boats with shrink plastic but I guess MoniKote is a different material.
QUESTION!!!
Should I slit the covering along the front of the leading edge and put it tight and glue it down?
Holding the wing you can see the large bubbles jumping when I hold the wing in front of a big fan.
NOT GOOD!
My other wing I recovered with thin balsa sheet and it looks good but no shine.
Any other suggestions or should I buy the material and do it myself?
