So let me do some math here as I didn’t know Bob was building one too.
<div class="">So Carl, Bob, Curtis, Joe, Greg and I think Jim C have models less 80” span or less.</div>
<div class="">So that’s six of us!</div>
<div class="">I really think this will be a fun and challenging format. Soaring is more than ALES as TALES and F5J are nice change of paces. They are all just takeoff and lands!</div>
<div class="">Looking forward to the season as always as you are a great bunch of folks! </div>
<div class="">Oh, can anyone do anything with the white stuff!</div>

<div class="">As many of you probably know, Bob and I are both building Yellow Jacket 2m RES ships for possible TALES competition, or just learning more about working light lift. Curtis has completed his and is all set to fly it.

<div class="">To cover these small gliders Bob and I chose Aerofilm, a lightweight heat shrink mylar imported from Britain by Stevens Aeromodel. The instructions packed with the material suggested an iron temperature of 175 to 195 F for sealing edges and covering
sheet balsa areas, and temperature of 230 to 250 F for shrinking open areas and working compound curves. Dutifully I started covering today per the specs. I found the suggested low temps called out for tacking were very problematic, and had quite a rodeo
going for about an hour. Once I got the iron fired up to 250 -260 degrees the material started to behave better, providing strong adhesion and beautiful tightly shrunk covered surfaces, either over sheeting or open areas. If you use this material at some
time, I’d suggest bagging the low temps and just going with about a 250 degree iron for a neat job. Buy the way, this is just slightly cooler than I like to run for Monocote.</div>

<div class="">Happy covering!</div>
