Getting closer now.  The basic airframe is assembled.  The cowl and the nose are fibreglassed.  Right now the fuselage is getting nitrate dope.

Steve:

What did you use to apply the glass cloth?  Epoxy, dope, CA?

What is your process (do you apply a particular primer to the glassed area before color dope)?

Thanks!

Hey Scott!

The glass goes on with z poxy finishing resin thinned not quite 50/50 with methanol.  After it cures I sand the glassed area with 220, 320 and 400 and then it gets two coats nitrate, then silkspan doped over it just like the wood.
