I use that wattage on 800 gram planes. Dont think it's enough for 2 kg model. Need more like 600 watt plus.

How to... / Cheap covering film

Looking for cheap covering film? This stuff is great. As good as anything I've used, very opaque, 5m for less cost than 2m of usual stuff and free postage. If ordering get all rolls posted individually to avoid duty. Only downside is colour variability as I ordered the yellow as shown but received cub yellow instead (not complaining as I prefer cub yellow).

Hi Keith,
I had the same problem. Apparently go to the bottom of the page to attachments, choose file and post. I don't think a preview is possible so just pot luck and go for it.

Fox chuck glider 22" span, covering with tissue and pu varnish. Using mini helicopter servos, gyro and receiver for control of ailerons and rudder. Looks like it will fit together.

Hi andrew,
Battery should be charged @ 1.6 amp at 6.6volt and should at this setting take one hour from discharged state to fully charge.

Hi,
That looks like lightply which is not suitable for the wing joiner. Get proper hard plywood and make a new one.
