Junior 60 Build Pt2 How to cover a model Aeroplane RC Model Geeks

[@ramtek2702]

You might want to sweep clean the surface before covering. DUH!! And, BTW, how do you intend to install hinges AND PIN THEM after covering???

[@Rcmodelgeeks]

DUH! you clearly have the mental age of a 3-year-old. So get back to suckling on your mother's breast, get a life and make some videos of your own.

re watched this in 2022 and it still is THE best covering video that can be found on youtube, really well done! ♥

[@Aspie_Geek_UK]

I know that this video is 6 years old, but it is still the only decent covering tutorial on KZbin! I have been modelling and building since the mid 1990's but had a life break for around 15 years and have recently got back into the hobby. Some of my models suffered from the inevitable hanger rash in the mean time and I decided to recover my Ben Buckle Super 60 ch4. Since I haven't covered anything in around 20 years I had forgotten most of it! Your video has helped refresh my memory and has given me the confidence to "just get on with it"! Thanks for that and keep up the good work, this is an excellent instructional and great video work. Thank You, Aspie_Geek_UK

Excellent how to guys!! Very nice high quality work!

well gents, I am just getting back into the hobby with my daughter and I am recovering a old hobbico superstar 40 for her. After watching this video and seeing yall tips and tricks has yelp alot.

Excellent tutorial...explained very clearly...super camera shots too.. thanks guys...

[@glynjones7323]

Very useful instruction with very good explanation hints and tips that will help create the best finish. Good to know that Hobbyking covering is good product.

[@Nightmareonscamstreet]

Nice work. I have a tip for removing the backing. Put a small piece of sellotape on each side of a corner. One piece on the front and one on the back. Grip the tape and pull apart. The backing comes right off with the tape. Also useful for bin bags :-)

[@peterwright790]

Very good. Will be able to try my first covering. Thanks.

This is a really good help to me... I've covered before but did not know about the "hovering" technique" with a rub down. (My spouse probably did, but is holding that secret.) Quite a good idea! Add the soldering iron for making holes! Outstanding ol' chap!

Great training session!,

[@yaroslavcherny2339]

nice video. just preparing to cover 1st balsa model - that's useful.

[@onfin3al6]

From back in the 50's as I remember we used special paper , glue in place then with testers dope I would put it on the paper surface and when it dried the paper was tight . Then came a long the film , no glue needed just lay it on tight a spossible then a heat source wave over it , is's done and looks really nice . Today seems to be the foam planes .

im here trying to lesrn this art...i made some popsicle stick ribbing to practice....i used painters plastic that you lay on the room floor you are painting....anyway i just put some ca along the ribs layed the plastic over it let it dry then hit it with a heat gun felt heavy but looked pretty good

[@specforged5651]

Hmmm... every 5 seconds lol. Thanks for sharing, I’m about to tackle a 82” Cessna 182 for my first time. Probably not the best idea, but I need to start somewhere and have practiced on some broken wing pieces. We’ll see how it goes.

[@downedpilotellis8091]

you do a great job on wing

[@juliangedzierski2546]

Thank you great advise 👍

[@nestwolfsteiner2292]

Great video, which temperatures are you recommending for tacking and for shrinking?

[@brettwilletts]

Could you use an old sock to put on the iron instead of buying the proper sock for the iron?

[@homienat3374]

What is that covering ya using, thanks ,nice job on wing

[@chrisbeck6722]

Do you use a razor blade to trim out of choice? I'm covering a glider with Oracover Oralight transparent and every overlap shows so getting a neat edge cut, particularly on wingtips, is important.

[@Rcmodelgeeks]

I use a razor blade. Don't dither when cutting use a constant steady movement.

[@hans4796]

Hi, off topic but since i bought a Spacewalker and i seen it at the workshop will you please do a bit on that to? Thanks for all the nice Tubes!!!

[@yodajive]

What type of covering i.e brand of material did you use or suggest using if your preferred covering might not be available. My first time. Thanks

[@Rcmodelgeeks]

I used the covering that Hobbyking sell. Its much more forgiving to use.

[@yodajive]

specifically - what’s it called? brand name? type of covering?

G'day RCMGs...Just a question for Mad Colin...how did it go at 1:12:44 ?

[@Rcmodelgeeks]

YES all sound effects by Mad Colin ;o)

[@bigdon1a1]

just me but i think the under-cambered would be taken care of when the whole wing is covered and the shrinking is done to keep the strait and not warp the wing

[@maljohn6584]

Good video frend for the complete novice. But after building and covering with tissue and dope , Nylon and dope, and many other forms of covering. Iv covered for 15 years or so with all kinds of film oracover ,solar film , pro film ect , and models up to 12 foot wing span . if you use a good quality iron you realy don't need to use of a heat gun as iv never. set the right heat settings as a lot of film covering will take a 130 c plus. And you will achieve a better finish and a much better glue addiestion to the airframe especially if you apply a small amount of heat acctivating glue around the edges of the wing curves and engine bay. As a heat gun does not seal the same way as good as a iron. That's why you see so many lovley models showing the age regards film peeling around the edges and going sagey. Some times with in weeks of finishing and some months later on thoses wonderfully fly days in the summertime. Please give it a try fellow modelers.

[@kenjackson4177]

Thanks for the video, as someone just getting into it, I’ve noticed the coverings can come in 3 different thicknesses. Is there a significant difference in strength from the 1.0 mil to 2 mil? Thanks in advance

[@Bob_Burton]

I have always thought that the handles on those covering irons were absurdly long.

[@Rcmodelgeeks]

I used to use a normal household iron. Now that was hard work lol

[@MrBatton]

This is a useful video on general covering technique but for the Junior 60 it has one major omission. The wing as designed is actually undercambered and the covering should therefore have been stuck to the underside of each wing rib to follow the camber. You can see on the video that the model does actually have undercamber but you have chosen to ignore this and cover it as if it had a flat bottom section. Granted it is fiddly and time consuming but it does add significantly to the performance of the wing section. As a result you will have lost the wonderful slow floaty glide that is so characteristic of the Junior 60's flight performance. What a shame!

[@larrys639]

I agree MrBatton. What a wonderful opportunity to show people how to do a proper under camber covering. Now you have 60% of the film on the underside of the wing- not even supported by ribs :-( and nobody but you seemed to notice. These guys are reasonably entertaining and show basics of using an iron and film, but they might ought to watch a KZbin on how to properly cover an under camber wing.

[@teretz571]

@@larrys639 Ihave built many old timers and use a cover grip solution which i paint on, when dry i attach the film and iron it down one bay at a time, never had an issue what these boys have done has destroyed the lift factor of the wing

[@larrys639]

@@teretz571 Exactly alex! I havent ever built an under camber wing, but I have seen it done properly using heat activated adhesive on the underside of the ribs

Great video guys but, one little word of warning, please, please do not put cellulose thinner in a plastic bottle it will burn its way through and could easily cause a fire if it dripped on to electrical items or heaters.

To my American ear, you sound just like Ricky Gervais. Great video, very informative, but I keep expecting a snarky, cutting comment at any moment.

[@GadgetMart]

I actually found the HK covering easier and nicer to use than Profilm? Is that just me?

[@Rcmodelgeeks]

Yeah the Hobbyking covering is very easy to use.

[@SebastianBari-h2q]

my comment, seems to be odd: but i would never use neither this shaving blade nor put Oracover without sanding the Basla.

[@markuswormann9744]

Hobbyking Cover is good.But after the first time you been using Oracover,you don´t want anything else.

[@Thalarctos.]

0:02 On aurait pu se passer de ça...🥴

[@NewJerseyJay]

Honestly, couldn't you just use a regular iron that would be used for clothing?

[@maxounette-jv7dj]

I did that years ago, too big and temperature control isn't fine enough. Tried also with a small travel iron and it wasn't better. A covering iron works far better.

[@NewJerseyJay]

@@maxounette-jv7dj Thank you for the feedback! Appreciate it!

[@seanfleming6680]

ok , i would advise to cover the whole wing , before one heat shrinks the covering , this will stop any risk of warping the wing ,aswell as any drifting , to be honest this is not the best way to go about covering a wing , sorry to say

[@Marc-qg5uq]

This shit's hilarious.

[@PockoRC]

[@mattivirta]

lot better you can time 44;52 take cover out add 2 pcs tape both side film, now you have big handles were can do, and then bush film out. lot lot easy and better than knife. and lot better easy have tape pcs keep film on to table and one side only open were bend to wing backside and heat glue, then one side have some place glued take tape out and can move to table wing and do same ewery side glue.
