You're more than welcome to some of my chinacokte if you don't get an offer from someone closer to you.

Thanks Mike, might take you up on that

How are you going to do the hinges, will you use hinge tape or just use the covering as the hinge??

Hinge tape - Sellotape Crystal Clear. I've done hinges using the covering before and it is a real pain getting the gap right so that it moves freely but without too much slop. I think it's due to the fact that the hinge material shrinks when you heat it to glue it in place. I did 'live' hinges on my Impressivo using the covering but needed to replace a servo and one hinge after a whoopsi. The repaired sellotape hinge is much better than the live one....so, much easier to cover everything and then tape it.

So just do all of the covering, and then use the sellotape as the hinge?

Can you please post a couple of photos when you get to it

Cover first and then sellotape. I'll post photos

Not quite ready for hinge photos...I wish I'd covered the ailerons and elevators first, because I've lost the will to live covering these tiny parts. I think I've ironed my fingers more than the v-tail...ouch.

Very nice, how many are building these? Just the two of you?

Well 3 actually if you include me Dave, but as I've not started yet the term "building" might be disputed by those that have acutally done something.

But I'm planing on finding a few hours to make a start this weekend.

Possibly on the jig this weekend initially.. :lol:

Is there any other way?
