RE: How to fix? Paper sticking to top surface of trailing edge of wing

Darn it.  I just started painting and that will have to be that.

This is for my son who is 9 weeks old.  By the time he is picky enough to care about that error there will be a lot more airplanes...

The paper skin on the wings is sticking to the top of the trailing edge resulting in the aft-area of the surface of the wing looking like it has a big dent...

She's wonderful.  She dresses up in her princess outfits, calls me "Beast" (from Beauty and the Beast), and flies her airplane models that I made with all the appropriate sound effects.  Coolest kid...

RE: Silly question about tissue paper covering

I glued together the papered wings, hoz and ver tail.  They're not perfectly straight.  I'll have to be more careful on the next model.

I used UHU to secure them.  I think this may be a mistake so...

RE: Silly question about tissue paper covering

Hi Zor.

Vous ett Francais-Canadian?  Just wondering.  :o)

Shrinking - yes, it does shrink in the sense that it tightens.  If you take a 1 cm^2 piece of tissue and spray it, it will no longer...

RE: Silly question about tissue paper covering

No worries, and thanks, Zor.

Alright, got the paper shrunk.  Had two scares - tore a little hole (wow, it's weak when wet) that I'll have to patch (about 1/2 cm^2) and the paper was so loose and...

RE: Silly question about tissue paper covering

So far I have all the plane papered except the wingtips.  Paper is a little baggy and there is more overlap than I would have liked but I think it's okay.

I used Uhu which went on kinda clumpy. ...

RE: Hi Everyone

People seem to disagree about this, but my definition is that Embedded Systems are low-level SW and HW for a single-purpose device (as opposed to a PC that is meant to do everything).

RE: Silly question about tissue paper covering

Thanks, guys.
