| Try Ebay. I've seen some there. I bought the remainder of the stock when our LHS went out of business, but it's getting low. I use the Sig brand too. Plane looks great.

| Thanks to both of the Ed's - I will look at Plyspan, I would like a medium heavy covering to give a "fabric" covered look to the A/C. |

| Breakfast room looks like it would make a fine office and building area. Q6 really looking good.

| For silkspan, I use SIG Medium-flight plyspan. I bought a tube of it back in the 90's when I was building 1/6 scale R/C. Great stuff for all scale, but probably too heavy for free-flight. Don't know if you can get it anymore. I'd be curios to see what you come up with. My supply is starting to run low! |

| .....I wish I had DD's nimble fingers. The whole build is hand-cut pieces of balsa, CA'd into place. Hope it looks OK after filling, sanding, and painting. I may cover the wings in silk - not sure which brand to use? |

Back to the Q6 after 16 days away. Too hot in my shop, at 99 degrees) so ahve made temp workplace in breakfast room. |

| It was some rubberised thread from a Ben Franklyn store Ed.
I hope to put some thin flat metal wires back in place of the old material. Have now got my new balsa supplies so hope to return to the Q6 soon. |

| Which tread did you use? I was thinking of using something similar, but not if it does this! |

| Some major re-rigging to do....... |

| This model is really shaping up to be special.
I love the uncommon airplane types we get to see being built up here.
Despite the head scratching you appear to be making great strides Bob |

| edbecky, Comment for image # 43213 | 25 May 21 10:09 |
