This is great, John, and probably better than putting the film on a frame first. In spraying the structure, I’ve been using Josh Finn’s technique of waving the framework through the mist sprayed in the air. I imagine with your technique, one has to be very careful about the spray. See you on the 13th
Thanks Ben. The idea is to shoot the spray beyond the part and the lighter particles settle on the part. As with much of what we do, many ways to do this process.
Perfect! The veg bags are just a bit thicker than what I'm using in the video. I host a model airplane club at our local middle school and we sometimes will use those bags for our projects. Hard to beat them! Thanks for watching.
Saw your video this morning and it answered some of my questions about penny planes. The covering is amazing and the application is equally amazing especially coming from one that thinks 1/16 square is small and hard to handle. However, this video brings more questions, for one, are the wing ribs steam formed, sliced or?? As to the rest of the plane, possibly another video. Thank you for doing these, your skill is on display. Mike
Thanks for your comment, Mike. Yes, the ribs are sliced as you point out. I've considered a more inclusive video to show more of the construction steps in build a model like this. I have a video in planning for a really light indoor model that may come out later this year. Really appreciate the feedback and thanks for watching.
@@MarkRobinson555 You're welcome. There was an excellent build tutorial on Hippocketaeronautics but unfortunately that website had some issues and lost that info. But you can find the plan online. National Free Flight Society should have it.
Excellent video, you make something difficult look easy! Thanks for sharing. many many years ago I used to use “condenser paper” for my indoor models. Does such an item exist any longer? May I ask where can this polyester film be purchased? Cheers from Adelaide SA
Thank you for the comment. Yes, condenser paper is still available, but the polyester film is much more stable and also lighter. But both covering products are available from Indoor Free Flight Supply. They offer OS film which is lighter than what I'm using. www.indoorffsupply.com/#:~:text=Supplies%20for%20the%20Indoor%20Free%20Flight%20/%20Model%20Airplane%20/ Indoor Specialties offers Ultrafilm which is what I'm using in the video. His site is a bit outdated but if you contact him via email, he'll be able to supply you with products.

I learn something new with every one of John's videos. Thank you for posting!
Thanks Franklin.

Thank you!
Fantastic, I use vegetable bags for my giant scale powered ones, thanks!

Fantastic tutorial, thank you very much for sharing. What is the model please?
Thanks for the comment. The model is for the competition category of Limited Penny Plane. It's Bill Gowen's Carbon Penny. An excellent flying model.
@@Watchingthevideos99 Thank you very much 😀

В детстве был чемпионом области по зальным моделям...👍♥️
Very good. Do you still fly?
@@Watchingthevideos99 Выступал во всех классах: К - 1, К - 2, экспериментальных (вертолёты) ☺️
Fascinating John, I always wondered how that was done. What was the underlying structure? Thank you for posting
Hi Paul. The Limited Penny Plane stab is made of carbon fiber rod with balsa ribs. Or do you mean the foam board?
I was referring to the stab, thanks for the quick response
Great video, I'd love to build a penny plane but they cost a fortune.😊
