Hi ,

Great technique , but one question ...

Can you use this same method for flaps/elevators that are built up (ribbed)Thanks ,

Rob K.

Yeah.  I learned about this trick from the instructions in the Brodak "Legacy" kit.  works like a charm!

Ty --

That's interesting. Finding the originator of the idea (and when) is worth a little research if anyone is so inclined. I can only add that the technique was on the original Top-Flite Gieseke Nobler plans.
        I do know we (me or anyone I flew with) had never heard of the technique back in the mid-60s -- which doesn't mean the technique was discovered after that. But it was not widely known then, for sure.
        Well, I don't think it is widely known today, otherwise you wouldn't have posted it.

Hey Ty, I for one am glad you posted your method.  It will make it easier for me to do borrowing your way.  Each of have to learn as we go along.  If we don't learn something each day we will get stagnant.  I started with the 10 cent Comet planes back when I was about 7 or 8.  Gee that is 60+ years ago for me.  Wasn't even a teenager when I got my first IC engine.  Come on Chief lighten up.
