What you do is put one layer of tape on each panel before you put them together . Be careful to not tape the spoiler down :-) That way when you put the wing tips on you are taping to the existing tape and it doesn't pull the covering off...
Been doing it like this for 3 years with no problems... Craig [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Have been flying the Ava some more. What kind of tape do people use on the tips so that the edge of the covering doesn't peel up? I've been having that problem. Or perhaps I should run a bit of thin CA to seal the edges?? BTW, I saw that video of the guy launching his Ava like a DLG. It's really more like a hammer throw, as the idea is to use a loop of line from your hand to the tow hook and just hold the tip in place. Anyway, I tried it and it works fine, but it didn't somehow feel right so I didn't put any power in it. Got maybe 30 or 40 feet anyway. Suspect over 100 is possible if you pull out the stops. No wobbles or anything. Even tho my cg is quite conservative, however, it doesn't pull up much. RCSE-List facilities provided by Model Airplane News.
