A light spray with water will shrink and make the tissue taught but not to the extent that Dope would do, then use non shrinking Dope.

As this is a static am I right in thinking that it could have been skinned in silk or a substitute as weight is not a concern? Thought I may have read this somewhere...or not  Steve

Hi Karl, That is one cool build. I like the old flying machines, but it always seems that they had them back to front by today`s standards. That said, where would we be today without those pioneers? If SWMBO finds you`ve used the nail varnish remover, don`t let her near the frying pan till she`s calmed down.  Nice build Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"
