How well does the paint adhere to the laminating film? Will it flake off ?

Do you have a brand name? WE tried Pelon 830 from Joanne Fabrics. Went on nice but was more brittle than old silkspan.

Hahaha. Look at the YT algorithm. Yesterday, I had a day dream about reliving my childhood by modeling the parts to a Gentle Lady glider. Then all of the sudden I'm being Recommended this video. I guess it's time to get started. Time to order some PLA-Aero. Thanks for pushing me over the edge. :-)

you can save so much time with onshape doing that shape via sketch and get nozzle width dimensions for faster better printing.

What paint do you use is it a cellulose or an acrylic?

Wow amazing. I thought they were all vac formed. Never knew it shrunk with heat applied.

More great information!

Thank-you so much! Could you tell us how can I do for squared corners to keep the longarin size?

Cool build!

Wings length and breath

What size and where did you get the blind nuts? Thanks

Well, now you're into it three dollars!

Truly appreciate you including your 'failures'/sub-par product...many get too embarrassed to reveal such informative process mistakes. It ends up that YT 'How-To' vids too often make DIY projects appear perfection is guaranteed = NOT in this REAL world! You are patient & detail oriented and will have this process down to art before long. As far as the staining or residual adhesive spots across the canopy, did you bother soaking that PETN canopy in different solvents after the 'Goo Gone'--like acetone & alcohol? Finally, a drill or Dremel fit with a poly-cotton buffing rag wheel + polishing compound...gentle work-over might restore clarity & help disappear surface scratches from the finished canopy plastic?

Nice

More great information!

solltest mal YT kucken, da wirds gezeigt wie es geht. was du machst ist BS from Crap

nice job! 😎👍 Thanks for sharing.

More great Inkscape content! I learn more from each of your videos.

I’ve been wanting to get this kit for a while now, but haven’t pulled the trigger on it because the website says it’s backordered and projected ship date is 11/17/21. When did you order the kit, and how long did it take them to ship it?

After building the frame I discovered a plywood laser cut part that is intended to be the back of F1 and the landing gear. I used a piece of scrap balsa but the ply is the intended piece with wire for motor wires.

Nicely done. 👍 I've not done what you're doing, but am a sculptor and have mucked about with various materials and DIY forming ideas over more decades that I'd admit to, so take my suggestions as coffee shop engineering chit chat. Just random thoughts.... I wonder if you cut the bottom of the bottle off, stuck your buck in, epoxied the bottom back on. Then heat the bottle in an oven to get it evenly soft (Not sure of the right temp for that plastic, might have to experiment to find the Goldilocks zone). Rig up a cone shaped bung to stick in the top of the bottle and fit on a shopvac hose. Heat the bottle, plug in the fitting, and turn on the vac. Sort of a vac forming but without the flat sheet and machine. And a second shot in the dark; Put a tire valve stem in a bottle cap, warm the bottle as above, and use compressed air (compressor or bike tire pump) and blow the bottle up. The idea is it would thin the plastic out. You could then use a smaller bottle to start with, having thinner wall thickness and use the above method. might suck down easier and form more tightly to the buck. Like I said, just random ideas. I saw you're vid on the side bar while cruising kit/junk bashing videos. Good luck with the build.

Can you please share a link of the doculam you purchased from Amazon ?

Can you point me to a link so I can purchase some doculam ? Thank you

Servos look a little large for this size of plane. Nice recovery though.

Note: Don't use an ink pen to mark things. It'll bleed thru iron-on covering. I'd use 30-minute epoxy on the nose gear block/firewall and the rear wing hold down plate.

Willy nillies has awesome products..thanks for the tutorial.

Duh moment. I went back and read the booklet that came with this kit, and it does in fact indicate that this is a beta kit and there are no instructions developed for this yet as does the website. I do appologize. However, I will state that this kit is pretty awesome and came with amazing hardware and enough extra materials to make a go of it. The Dummy motor is sold separate but I do recommend as it really pulls this together.

you can get a similar effect by dunking it in boiling water as well! it'll cause the plastic used in the bottle to shrink uniformly!

Nice canopy.. plane is looking good...

Great information! I learn something new from each of your Inkscape videos.

I put videos on my channel for the thermoforming unit under a Playlist

I have a 24 x 24 vacuum system if you need anything big, just let me know..

The wire you are using, is soft wire, it might work for a light model, but heavier control input I will recommend steel spring wire or tempered piano wire. Grainger industrial if you have in your city will sell rolls for like 10$ all different sizes. I have even tried heat treating and quenching the wire you have to no improvement,it does not have enough carbon to get hard. I also unwound a small spring and straightened that works if you are patient because the wire is already hardened, thatis what gives it its spring !

Nice method I'll have to try it out !

Found this in my recomended, i have no idea what this is. Can someone explain?

Great tutorial. I learned some tricks I didn't know before.

With all that paint, isn’t it cheaper to use covering film for models?

Where do you buy doculam??

I used something like this in 1968 on my control line airplanes.

😮😮

How many grams per sq meter or how many oz per sg yard is this doculam?

I want to give doculam a try. What thickness should I order?

Brilliant, thank you for sharing this tip.

I have booked a front seat for next year. Merry Christmas.

Posted this quick video to show an easy way to add Z-bends to wire for a quick pushrod for an RC model airplane. Thanks for watching and Stay Tuned!

I made this video based on comments on a previous one. I was asked for the specific temperature ranges I work in to cover a structure with document laminating film. Please enjoy this short video and check out my others. Thank you.
