Very Thin Ply

<< < (2/2)

Jonzjob:
Hi FF, I have only just joined this forum and am looking around at the various threads. I am interested in how you got on with you 1/64th ply? I have used it on the ailerons on a 1/4 scale Habiche I have been building for years now ?? Don't ask? It forms the leading adge of the ailerons and goes through an almost 90º curve. I had to soak it and wrap it around a broom handle for a couple of days. It worked well and forms a very strong structure. One of there bright fine daze I will get around to it again.

The complete rear of the fuz is skinned wit 1/32nd ply and is a lot more difficult to bend! But I think that the most interesting (?) job was the one piece main spar in the 'gull wing'. It too had to be bent!

Hi Jonzjob and welcome. I got the ply from Lindinger and although it was packed quite well it did suffer some crush damage in the post. However, there was lots left for what I needed, sheeting the rear fuz on a small electric DH Dragon. Another long term project I'm afraid.
