RE: WACO YMF

Hey Stickbuilder!!!

I realized I never posted any pictures for you. I really appreciated the help you gave me with the Koverall.

I'm having some trouble getting the engine running so the...

RE: WACO YMF

Thanks Bill, So you are overlapping about 1/8" then it sounds. That's more or less how I did my small pieces, rudder, ailerons etc. The ailerons and elevator had to be wrapped further over because...

RE: WACO YMF

Hey Bill,
I've got a lot of good progress on my covering. Boy do I like this Koverall. It did take forever kovering my two ailerons and elevator. They have scallops. I hope the next time I hear...

RE: WACO YMF

Well I finally got it started! So far I LOVE this Koverall. It's real easy compared the old silk and doping! I'm having a bit of trouble with the corners as always. Corners are a bit of a real...

RE: WACO YMF

Thanks Stickbuilder.
That clears it up. I also thought by one piece you meant one piece entire wing both top and bottom all one, I was going to go all the way around in one piece. Glad you...

RE: WACO YMF

Hey Todd,
I was making an assumption the grain would run lengthwise on the wing. If the grain of the Koverall runs parallel to the finished seam that is the 48" lenghtway of my Koverall. My...

RE: WACO YMF

Hey Todd,
Thanks, I'll take another look. I read that, (since I read labels first :eek:) I thought the finished seam they referred to was the seam on the part being covered. IE, where the...

RE: WACO YMF

Finding which way the grain runs in this Koverall is tough. It's really hard to see. I bought the package of 48" X 5 yards. I think the grain is running the long length. In other words I should...

RE: WACO YMF

Hey Bill,
Did I see you say that I should put 3 coates of straight nitrate on the solid areas that are being covered?? Boy I forgot how smooth this stuff gets! I can barely hold onto this thing....

RE: WACO YMF

Thanks Bill,
So the rudder that I have pictured above you would cover with two pieces? And it does get shrunk like the wing. Before sticking it down in the centers? I don't have a covering iron....

RE: WACO YMF

Hi Stickbuilder,
I've got my two coates of dope on finally! Getting ready to cover the wing probably tomorrow. I just stick the edges then shrink the koverall at 250 degrees? The shrinking is...

RE: WACO YMF

Bill,
The DelStar enamel wouldn't be fuel proof without clear coating I assume? It's basically the same as using the automotive paints that I'm used to using. Right????

On the next bird I'll...

RE: WACO YMF

Well a good long 3 day weekend I was hoping to have my bird covered but the hobby shop has let me down. 3 weeks and still no order. I'm going to order it myself.

RE: WACO YMF

Thanks khodges. I never thought about using the wax paper over it. I bet it does make a nice smooth surface. The hobby shop didn't have any micro balloons last night either. I got a little bit...

RE: WACO YMF

I decided to order the koverall and dope from my local hobby store. I like to give my business to the local guys so I always order or buy from them. I've been waiting now for a week and still no...

RE: WACO YMF

Hey Bill,
This is such a newbie question I'm embarrassed to ask. :eek: It's been so long I just don't remember a lot of things. Maybe it's not the length of time that's the problem but the age...

I'm getting ready to take a shot a Koverall on my Jensen Ugly Stick. I've never used it and I've read a few posts from Stickbuilder and a few others. Can I ask some questions when I get started? ...
