Hi Don,

If the 60 has compound curves, then it must be different than on the 40. The sheet curved right around the rear turtledeck. The entire fuselage is covered with 6 different pieces. Two on the bottom (one forward of the wing, and one aft), one for the rear turtledeck and fuse sides, one for the top forward turtledeck, and two for the forward fuselage sides. If I had planned a bit better, I might have done it in 4 pieces. One piece for the rear fuse and fuse sides, one for the forward deck and 2 for the bottom. I used contact cement, the type used for formica (I had left over from building cabinet countertops in my RC workshop) to attach it to the ply sides, and White Gorrilla Glue over the open frame structure. I really like the sharp trailing edges you can make. The wings are sheeted and glassed in the traditional way, as I just couldn't see spending that much more to cover the wings for a 4 *. It's already got lots of expensive "upgrades". I'm still fairly new to RC building, so I try to add new materials and techniques to my builds. This is to help speed up the learning curve in prep for some more serious projects to come.
