No, the radio gear is not fitted yet. For filler I was going to use wood glue mixed with balsa dust because i'm going to cover the wings in transparent film and the wood glue mixed with balsa dust will hopefully be the same colour as the balsa and not show up through the film. I think Polyfilla is white, but i may be wrong. Only problem is that i think wood glue mixed with balsa dust is not that easy to sand.

Fred:
Yep, you're right. Polyfilla is white, but the glue + balsa dust will be really hard to sand.

May be another filler in wood color.. Bring a piece of balsa with you when you go shopping !  :wink:

That will do it if you don't ave loads to put because they are generally really heavy.

Alan_Perse:
I'll try that thanks. I don't have much to fill anyway so weight wise it should be OK.

joe:
very nice job Alan.looks great! a nice gentle floater for the summer thermals.if we get the sun back that is! is it strong enough for the bungey?(never used one).
just an idea maybe you could use polycell no sanding filller and get a little tin of balsa coloured paint!? easy to sand and the right colour.i know it's crazy but it might just work!!  :wink:

Alan_Perse:
Thanks Joe. It should go up on a bungee no problem. I flew from a bungee for the first time a week or two ago. Its realy easy to do  :D .
