Thanks for the information and the details on your indoor setups. Your planes are looking very good!
I have some of the very thin mylar sold by some of the indoor model specialists, and that material is just short of incredible - clear of course. Some info is available on how to use Rit dye to get a little color, but I am not brave enough to put my "$10 for a 10 inch by 5 foot length" covering into a pot of boiling hot water!
I use 3M 77 very sparingly for adhesive. ...Only letting the vapors drift onto the balsa structure not using the direct spray at all. This is quite good..., and using mineral spirits for removals.
I am pretty happy for now, but would have liked to have found some of that colored Reynolds material. ...however will get along just fine without it.
I don't know if you are aware, but there is a great small model website called
http://hippocketaeronautics.com/ http://hippocketaeronautics.com/ I have most of my last few years of indoor planes on there under the username rick121x.
Good luck and good flying, Richard
