I particularly enjoyed the edge covering you showed when covering the vertical stabilizer.
It seems so obvious but I had not been using that technique!

Thank You!

I like your method of covering your plane it came out very clean! That's how I want mine to be. Thank you for sharing.

You forgot to mention that you have to pin down the parts after you spray water on them, or else they'll warp.

Sympa cet entoilage, facile à poser et d'un beau rendu...

Great vid, good that you sped it up, nice to watch a master at work. Good looking airplane, too.

Wow, my spell checker stabbed me in the back a year ago, here is the corrected version.

Two types of dope, nitrate and butyrate. Nitrate shrinks less and will not distort a fragile frame. this stuff is probably as old as flying aircraft. Very volatile and some say toxic, I was always was happy covering model aircraft (because of the volatile odor). Use outdoors if you want to stayed married and healthier. I like to use a lit of thinner to make lighter models. I get small spray cans of Krylon from art supply stores for less than $3, hardware stores sell twice the size at more than twice the price. Just heard that Aqua Net hair spray works well.

I build mostly Guillows kits for 40 years now. usually 12 to 36 inches, also Easy Built models of the same size.

I have always hated working with model airplane dope; it stinks! I'm going to take your advice and try this out on one of my models soon. Thanks for sharing your idea.

At the hardware store. It's like clear spray paint.

Thanks for this. The materials and process used for tissue and willow construction is so lame. My spouse suggested that I watch this for ideas on how to do things quicker, better, faster. WIN.

Great video, never thought of covering the edge on the stab like that. Unless its really difficult to get to I normally use an Ez-Cutter on the first surface, makes a neat cut with just about the right amount of tissue left to cover the edge, cheap as chips too :) Love the checkerboard tissue, Esaki (sp) right?

the smell of airplane dope brings back great childhood memories

Excellent video 👍👍👍. Looking forward to work on mine.

where did u get that scalpel?

thanks for your time to make this video that help me a lot!

Dope is a sealer that you can use to glue down the tissue with and it's also used to seal the tissue. I don't like the smell of it so I use glue sticks to glue down the tissue and then clear Krylon to seal it.

Where do you souce your checked tissue from??

Boa noite ! Como que faço para conseguir montar um plainador assim ? Aqui no Brasil

What kind of paper did you use. Mine keeps wrinkling and tearing.

@crazyrcflyer
I sell them in my online store. Visit the link at the bottom of the video. The scalpels are listed under tools.
