| I laminated two 1/32" inch Balsa sheets "Crossgrain" to make a more rigid fuselage formers. The forward three formers have a silk layer laminated in between. The silk was doped to the wood first, then, as with the Balsa only laminate, I used "Stix-It" heat activated adesive to join. This worked very well. I used our houshold iron to bond them together. |

| There was a separate hall for FF and they had a building area for the kids to assemble some rubber power models and fly them. Jimmy and Katarina had a blast. We spent about 2 1/2 hours in there! Katarina won two 1sts in mass launches and Jimmy one 2nd place (due to aircraft breakage right before the call for a "Mass Launch"). Here's a vid of Katarina flying with about 500 winds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7aSlEEizu_I And here's Jimmy with about 250 to 300 winds: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=661VMtUYZTU |
