| Just Winging it |
With the tapes complete on the
fuselage, I decided to set it aside
and pull out a wing. My goal is to
have everything ready to paint
when the weather cools down.

I'm using some PVC stands that

The best way to do a leading edge
tape is to snap a line both top and
bottom...lay in a bed of polybrush
and let it dry. Next, starting on the
bottom of the wing, lay in a 1" stripe
of Polybrush next to the line and
position the tape. Let it dry.

Turn the wing over and lay in a 1"
stripe next to that line and position
the tape. Let both sides dry for a
day and hit it with an iron. Then
soak in the polybrush into the
center. If done right you should get
some very straight lines on these
tapes.
