Balsa USA Stingray with DLE-20, RC Plane Build N0 8: Rudder Construction

[@peterhothersall5172]

Great series. I am just coming back into RC and bringing myself back up to speed on techniques. If it helps at all, here is a method I used for sheeting curved surfaces. Wet the balsa sheet so that the water has started to be absorbed, then get a hair dryer and play it onto the sheet on the side that needs to be concave. With a little hand pressure a concave shape will form. Whilst the outside is still wet, glue and pin the sheet to the frame. It will retain it's shape once completely dry. Keep producing your build videos.

Thanks for the comments and the tip on applying sheeting. I’ll consider that in future builds. Its always a little tricky, so I need to try some other methods.

Nice job, I prefer wood glue on stick builds it fills in better and sands easy , ca is great in other areas

Anybody knows what he uses as a Nonstick plastic for the work table...???

It’s Saran Wrap or clear plastic wrap from the Grocery store

If you have any monokote or ultracote backing, that works too. Plastic wrap is probably easier to obtain, but it can be a pain to uncling it from itself.

SORRY , YOU FORGOT THE SUBTITLES

[@JamesRCPlaneTech]

Hi Marco, I don’t think I had subtitles on my videos. Im not sure how it works. Do you see subtitles on my other videos ?

[@anthony3D]

Oui il n'y a pas de sous-titres sur cette vidéo. Mais sur les précédentes il y en avait. 😅
