| I agree with rayl. That is a very nice covering job. What did you use to draw the control surface lines? They look clean and sharp. |

| I normally add a trim tab under the left wing, and if needed I just add down thrust to the thrust bearing. |

| Very nice model Scigs. For these 18" low wingers, do you build a few degrees right and down thrust into the nose, or do you just put a couple of tabs on the flying surfaces? There is real beauty of the sun shining through the translucence of the covering and showing the framework, when they are soaring around up there - except for the trees in Jackson Park! |

Brush on 2 coats of Aerogloss glear and allow 3 days to dry all pinned up to prevent warps. |

Even with the old Guillows tissue I was able to apply the tissue wet to the fuselage |

Here is a Guillows Mustang I bought on eBay that was already built and just needed covering. The build was pretty nice, looks like the builder used white glue and everything was nice and straight. I did some final sanding, no modifications and covered with kit tissue. This was an old kit since the decals were paper glue on and not the water slide on decals. I had a kit with water slide decals and used them. I applied the covering with Elmers glue and coated with 2 coats of Aerogloss dope. The final weight with rubber ready to fly is 20 grams. I still think the 900 series kits are the best WWII kits out there for beginners who don't want to build a high wing kit. These would be perfect laser cut kits. I think my next build is going to be a Guillows 300 series Cessna built out of the box with a fast and easy RC conversion that anyone could do. |

| Everything a Mustang should be! Can't wait to see some in-flight photos. |
