Title: Cover film quantity for balsa scratch-built airframe Post by: Aeroresurrect on May 16, 2019, 11:52:06 AM Hi Friends,
Need expert advice from scratch-builders in this forum. I am in the build process of a 1580mm wingspan trainer airplane. I did not order the cover film (monokote/ultrakote) due to fund crunch at that time. I request advice from builders on how much film should I order ? The seller has indicated 3 rolls (of 2m each) for this plane. I feel it is excess. Since I need to save money for other items (planning an Evolution 10 cc gasser to power this, servos etc), it would help me to figure out a more precise quantity. Thank you Aeroresurrect Title: Re: Cover film quantity for balsa scratch-built airframe Post by: gaurang.1972 on May 16, 2019, 03:55:14 PM If covering only wing than it is excess

Covering is intended for wings + fuselage + tailplane. Intend to go for a simple two-colour combination : wings and tailplane maybe red whereas the fuselage may be white. Decals - later on (superimposed). |
