Epoxy carries no RELATIVE strength in the repair. Mix the balloons to a Ketsup consistancy and fill the weave with that. Feather it past the repair about 1" (25.4mm). gv Kjell-Arne Fjelde wrote: This is most probably a silly question. But I´ve never used the stuff before so :) Im

[RCSE] Tips for Thermal Flying

2000-04-05 Thread Bill Kuhl
The following points I believe important for improvement in thermal flying, but I could be wrong. * The importance of smooth flying, the extra drag caused by un-necesary control movements can really kill performance especially on hl's. * The careful observation of the plane in flight; is it
