Image Comments jgood 07-Jan-08 13:30 Another shot in the glorious day we had on Sunday! I was thinking about making this a flying model, but the frame seems so heavy... Might be a static display model. jgood 01-Feb-08 21:57 Anyone here recommend this Coverlite tissue covering? Worth trying? Or should I just order Esaki tissue? Also, is water enough to shrink Esaki / Guillows tissue (then seal with Krylon) or should I get some dope (Nitrate or Butrate? Thinner?)? Thanks! I've got to master this tissue covering! jgood 01-Feb-08 21:59 I guess I should add that I want a look something like CDWheatley's or Scigs's models... jgood 01-Feb-08 22:14 Actually, don't worry, I found this excellent resource on the SFA site... scigs30 02-Feb-08 12:15 jgood, All Guillows models are too heavy but with some work can fly. I just flew my Spitfire the other day and was able to get 20 second flights. If you choose to make a flying model you will have to do a couple of modifications. The first is the nose, you have to make a system where you can have a removable nose plug. You need to do this so you can add weight to the nose. Second replace the Guillows prop with a 6 inch prop. If you choose to fly your plane do not paint it. This adds a lot of weight. The best choice is Esaki tissue, but there are not a lot of choices when if comes to color. The next best is Domestic. You can buy that from Easybuilt models. They seem to have the most choice in colors. Domestic is a little heavier than Esaki, but still lighter than painting. Or you can make a static model, either way take pictures and have fun, that is what it is all about. poppy 03-Feb-08 14:54 Nice! I love the view from your patio. Lucky dog!!
