| Skyediamonds1985 | Guillows Series 200 - SE5a | Build | 04-Nov-15 21:21 |  | | Views : 994 | | After covering the sheet balsa, I then glued it to the lower half of the "faux fuselage" for final view of my desire to simulate the fuselage on the real aircraft |
| Skyediamonds1985 | Guillows Series 200 - SE5a | Build | 04-Nov-15 21:19 |  | | Views : 1052 | | I gave my 1/16" sheet cut balsa one last check for fit before covering |
| Skyediamonds1985 | Guillows Series 200 - SE5a | Build | 04-Nov-15 21:16 |  | | Views : 1024 | | I then trimmed away some of the excess off the ends. Not bad, eh? |
| Skyediamonds1985 | Guillows Series 200 - SE5a | Build | 04-Nov-15 21:13 |  | | Views : 966 | | This is the very first time I've ever used heat-shrink covering. In this case, at the advice of Meku, I used Solartex which has a very fine weave pattern and it comes in various colors. I chose olive drab. So this will help explain, in part, why I chose to fabricte a "faux fuselage" to practice my covering techniques. Its one thinkg to watch dozens of videos on "How to's" but it's another to actually do it myself. |
| Skyediamonds1985 | Guillows Series 200 - SE5a | Build | 04-Nov-15 21:08 |  | | Views : 1057 | | I decided to laminate the last two 1/16" strips of balsa to give it added strength to account for any covering shrinkage |
