Georgeous work, Scott. The pinking looks fantastic all painted out.

Nice stuff Scott, but how much weight does all that sealer and paint add to the overall mass?

Hi Jeremy,
That is a very good question, I thought about it as I was removing the last of the Ultracoat off of the rudder. The Rudder as it stands right now thru Poly-Spray (UV protection) is 102 grams.

Most of the Poly-Brush and Poly-Spray evaporate off as the label on on the Poly-Spray indicate that its 30-40% Toluene, 10-20% Methyl Ethyl Ketone, 10-20% Methyl Isobutyl Ketone.......Pretty much all solvent......

Of interest, I found that if I use some Freezer paper ( waxed on one side ) and an Iron set to 200 degrees, I can reseal and smooth out the Pinked tape edges that lifted a little without damaging the surface.

Checking on ETO-band.....size and placement via "reference" material......

Fresh paint.......

and one side done....

While the Poly-Tone dries on the other half.....on to the wing. Tip bow cut and rough shaped...... a few clamps to see what it looks like

After thinning the trailing edge

**MarnochS** · 11-06-2016, 11:17 PM

minor modification to the tip bow- it was looking a bit too "thick" so the other bow that came off the form went through the band saw....10mm.....

Working on the flap reconfiguration to get more travel and top driven......70 degrees.....

Wing tip progress with the thinned bows - pondering the sheeting process of the forward section and center rib.....0.040 G10 bow reinforcement .

**MarnochS** · 11-19-2016, 03:00 PM

Got stuck on the tip bow ribs and how to cut/sand them to shape......settled on the hotwire version.

Lookin' good! I love the looks of the fabric. I think you have it covered (

) but to help with sheeting the tip slide your sand paper off the 'T' sander a bit and let the naked end glide along the rib. That'll give you a nice transition at the bow end for the sheeting to lay.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for the Tip... tip. Now I just have to get out the VM/P Naptha solvent to get the old sandpaper of the bar

Used two alignment guides/spacers for gluing the ribs on square. Ribs are 3/32 balsa
