MAN,, your harsh,,
Tim,, read my lips,, IRON ON FILM<< IRON ON FILM<< IRON ON FILM<<< IRON ON FILM<<<
did you catch that,,
IRON ON FILM,
serious, until you quit finding the ground do NOT silkspan,, a couple reasons for this,, yes the wing will be slightly,( or greatlyl) more flexible with iron on, HOWEVER this can be an asset,, when you smack the ground, I mean, uh ,,, land before you run out of fuel,, a wing built like this,, or the twister,, will flex, sometimes ripping the monokote/ultracote/ iron on finish. This will absorb a great deal of the energy and most times allow the wing structure to survive better. silskpan will transfer the load to the structure, typically turning it into splinters,, so let me restate,, IRON ON FILM,,
You see my planes, I can paint, I love to paint, sanding is zen to me,, but I learned my lesson early,, IRON ON FILM, until you go a season without crashing,, THEN silkspan, and it wont be on a flight streak,,
Did you get the point there Tim,, no? ok, let me put it simpler for you,, ( Its the whole engineer thing ,, just want to make sure you get it,, )
IRON ON film,,
and you could email Dan, he has a couple minor things to say about flight streaks,, if you catch him on a good day, sometimes he will even share them with you ,, lol
