Default RE: Another Blue Angel build
ORIGINAL: dhal22

i finally found some heavy duty cardboard tube for which to craft some wing bolt holes. the filling and sanding has gone on enough. time to get started on the glassing. the wing is 1st. about 22 oz's before a coat of sanding sealer goes on. i'll try to keep track of the weight as i go. i use Minwax sanding sealer.
David,

I'm going to be needing one of those tubes soon. What diameter (inside and outside) is the one you used? Is it by any chance an Estes rocket tube?

I could use one with a 1/2" ID. I'll have to check the LHS.

Thanks, David.

P.S. Actually I made a bolt guide from rolled paper and aliphatic resin around a brass tube but it's a touch heavy and not very rigid.
