Thanks Dave! In all these oldtimers, I'm just using pure mylar, no tissue under them, seems to work nice and I avoid having to dope the wings/tail/rudder (fuselage is doped polyspan light).

That 500 wind launch was incredibly sketchy! 😀

@@archivist17 I think the motor bunched up in the front and killed the prop for a moment.

Nice to be doing some outdoor again! I have another video or two in the works.

You're welcome, this is the only video where I actually show the covering process, in response to a number of viewers requesting mylar videos, I was hesitant because it's pretty primitive! I've been using Uhu for over 10 years and for the most part it works well for sticking the mylar to the balsa, I've had some really nice covering jobs with it.

Yes, I had that happen with the Gorilla epoxy, however Devcon seems to be very good and I've never had a problem with it.

Yes, the Ritz has potential! I don't do tissue on Mylar for several reasons 1) I use Mylar to avoid having to dope the flying surfaces, but putting tissue on Mylar would require doping and so kill that advantage and 2) I don't see the point, if I need strength then I use 1/3 mil mylar, which is practically puncture proof - been flying several planes for years without damage, and 3) I've heard that tissue on Mylar still reacts to high humidity, and that's one of the reasons I stopped using tissue in the first place - it loosens even with 4 coats of dope! So, I'm not a fan of tissue on Mylar, though I know that some people would disagree with this (sorry!).

Thank you. I do mention in some videos that I use 'just for flowers' spray paint, check out the Pacific Ace video. In the build videos, I always mention the color that I used, some are more translucent than others!

Thanks! I did hear “just for flowers” but thought that was part of the color name and not the product name.

I use 'just for flowers' spray paint, two light coats, check my Pacific Ace video.

Hard to say without seeing it, but tissue and dope should stiffen it up a bit so I'd guess you're OK.

DeWitt Clinton Park, been flying there for over a decade. You can see a good aerial shot of the park in my "Modified Bob white wakefield with camera" video.

Designed by Jerry Ritz - do a search on outerzone.co.uk for Ritz and you'll find another design - a tractor - with the same shaped wing by Jerry.

@@domoremath Thanks!

@@domoremath Found it - somewhat confusing that Jerry Ritz, Gerry Ritz and Gerald Ritz is the same person.

@@sablatnic8030 Not surprising - I'd guess that his name is Gerald, but that he goes by Jerry, however some people aren't sure, so they go with Gerry. I'm going with Jerry since that's what's on the plan (though it's probably short for Gerald)!

Ah you noticed. I agree, the mike on my old camera was better, more natural sounding, but the mike on my 'newer' (already more than a few years old!) camera is not as good, I also didn't like it, it sounds more muted, but the video is better so I'm using it anyway, sorry about that!

I've hit the trees but so far I've never hit the lights!
