Scarinzi Queen Build
Dave Moritz:
Beautiful, Jerry. She really stays out on the lines, to say the least!
Nice job on the filler pipe’s right angle bend in earlier pic. Don’t need too much elaboration here, but what’s your secret? Heat, weed whacker line, sand, ice, bender jig, luck?

Thanks much Dave. She's really fun to fly.
Regarding the brass tube, I used concave portion of a screwdriver handle that fit the tubing perfectly as a mandrel to bend the tubing around. Kinda like the old Harry Higley tool that I can no longer find.

Hi Guys,
Time flies more than my model airplanes. I'm about ready to cover my QB. I've been doing this build on coffee breaks at work. I hope to fly it some time this summer. I decided to add a few small spars to minimize swag between the ribs. I also plan to use Popsicle/Craft sticks as wing bracing. I expect the plane to be sturdy, especially as I tend to fly alone and over concrete. There is no intent to do soft-prangs into grass. I'm thinking I'll do the red-white "sun-rays" and scallops of the Lil Stinker, which is why mine has a canopy.
Things to do:
Make controls
Make fuel tank
Cover airframe.
Since this is a coffee-break-at-work build, I am considering drifting away from my typical "thinned-dope" stick-down of DocSpan.
I read the SLC thread, and am tempted to glue-stick the tissue, and cover with FredV4-gifted DocuLam. That leads to looking for clarification from the forum, please.
Is there a particular glue-stick I need?
Do I iron the tissue onto the glue?
How do I iron the SLC in the swag between the ribs?
Finally, a few "here are the bones."

I may have to re-size my images:

Well, now I know...less than 1 MB per post. I thought it was less than 1 MB per image.
