Great Planes Trainer 60: Pt 17 Covering the Wings - Build Series - 65" Wingspan RC Balsa Aeroplane
Спорт
Covering the Wings is the 17th video in a series that will take you through the construction and flight of a 65" wingspan Great Planes Trainer 60. This is an iconic trainer, which was designed by J. Bridi and revised by Don Anderson for the Great Planes Model Manufacturing Company in 1986.
I will be making a couple of small modifications along the way! The plane will be powered by an English made Merco 61 glow engine. The plans were downloaded from OuterZone website. A link to the plans is provided below.

Great video, if I had recorded myself covering my latest project with this covering KZread would have taken the video down for abusive language.

Hahahaha, yes I had to eddit all that stuff out!!
Something I like to use before covering, I use a liberal coat of Sig Stix-it It really makes the covering stick to the balsa!
Good job Mark

Excellent, love it !
I like the monocote and I've got models I covered with it over 20 years ago and still no wrinkles! The old 21st century fabric and film's we're amazing too! I'm glad I stocked up before they quit selling it!
Looks great for all your struggles. Hopefully the monokote I got for mine works ok. Will be my first covering experience beyond tissue and dope.

Considering that covering I think you have done very well. I like your use of putting a glass shelf underneath, I will use that myself. Looking good. Terry

@@MarkRobinson555 one of your subscribers mentioned that you can get covering for £20 for 5 meters. I have used it and it's very good. Reminded me of solarfilm.

Hey Mark, I've had some good success with the covering that 4max have started selling.. Was a bit dubious at first as its only £20 for a 5m roll but it shrinks and sticks well and no glue squeeze out

Thanks for the suggestion, good to know. How does it stretch around corners?

It stretches well around corners wingtip etc. Good resistance to high heat too so I turn up the iron and smooth it around edges and it comes out well

Hi Mark, thanks for the lovely build, the covering looked difficult. What do you recommend for film covering these days?

Thanks very much really appreciate the kind comment. I have recently been using Oracover which was lovely to use, but it is quite expensive. But, I will definitely use it again
i’ve enjoyed your build of this plane. Another question as to your field of employment. Retired or still working? Just curious.

good but no white trims on the wing?

Thats correct, I do explain why in the video - the white was so poor and because of the issue with the colour bleeding I decided not to use it.

@@MarkRobinson555 over the years I have always covered plane with polyster film & spray painted my planes , rarely I used iron on covering.
