Looking good Gerry.

Hi all, happy Easter.
Update  on Ka1/Ka3 combo.....
Finished sheeting the fuse, filled all the little holes and gaps, so now I’m ready to cover it. I plan to use light nylon cloth and diluted PVA glue. I used this system years ago when I built my ASK 13 and it worked out very well for me.
Some photos of the finished fuselage.....

Hi Ger,
  hope you are well, it looks great.

See you on the hills soon

Kevin O'Donoghue:
Ger, I'm starting into finishing off a 1/4 scale Ka3 that I picked up unfinished from Ralph. I was just reading around the various build blogs. What did you cover your Ka3 in? What do you generally use? I'm tempted to order Oracover, but I must admit that I might just stick with Orafilm for expediency. I know it will be a little bit shiny, but 100m off the slope will anyone notice?
How did you finish your red one with the white wing striping? It looks very well.
Thanks
Kevin

gerryb:
Hi Kev,
I used white  profilm for the wings and a Hobby King red for the fuselage. As you say, they are a bit shiny, but when the model is in the air, you hardly notice.
I also built a 1/4 sc version and covered it with Solartex (unfortunately now no longer available). You can see this model on p6 of Scale, my one is blue and yellow and another one by Kieran Wallace which is red and white.
Best of luck with your model, don’t forget to post photos and keep us up to date.
Regards, Gerry Buckley
