Kinda like a BOM rule duke-out, huh? Not personal, Gary, just picking
up and carrying your thoughts onward....
I learned indoor modeling via web, with in-person critiques maybe
once a month to correct the errors. The web is the best place to
learn, if someone is willing to take the time to help. I am
comfortable with poly films now. I just needed help. There are
chapters of guidance on Don's old list regarding y2k and y2k2
covering. Those helped me get past the wad from half-a-roll.
Some of us have our comfort coverings. I have steered clear of indoor
scale and no-cal to avoid jap tissue; it never works for me -
indoors. There have been scale skeletons evolve only to fade away
after a couple strips of tissue. But then, I wonder how anyone could
have problems with it on undercambered outdoor models.
Back to tissue and film for newbies. Because many find A-6 a fun
event, and great for new flyers (I did), the inclination is to soften
difficult learning humps so all can fly it too. Trouble is, there are
always learning curves. A-6 holds a good intermediary position
between a Dart and what EZB would have been without film. I'm
thinking allowing poly film for A-6 can drastically change the
picture, as it did for EZB.
I feel the reward is worth the effort to learn. I still expect to
launch a Fike, and few will know my struggles to do that. Or, I might
learn the error in my covering techniques.
