It is refreshing to see that some people know what to do with extra time at
the NATS (I ran the turnarounds for years). I can't remember having seen
most of the people complaining about the contests helping with anything,
other than criticism. I'm sure Mark G. could attest to that. I have
I like 3M clear Book Tape. I find it at our Teachers supply store, not
in hard wear type stores. I buy it in a wide roll, then cut it to width
with a straight edge and blade. I the cut short pieces and make what I

surface and

rudder was solid balsa, and was glassed painted in

I have a project that will use a lot of mylar and I'd like to find it as
inexpensive as possible. Needs to be .014 thick if possible.
As always, thanks for your help.

I figured someone would ask. From 3M Book Tape cut two pieces 1/2 wide
by 1and1/8 long. Assemble them end to end sticky side toward each other
overlapping the ends about 1/4.This depends on the thickness of the
control surface at the hinge line. Now make another one identical to the
first one.
I bought full rolls of mylar from plastic suppliers a couple times. The
price was not much lower than just buying from ACP. You need to buy in
really huge quantities to beat the prices offered by ACP and CST. The stuff
really isn't very expensive.

Without muddying the subject by tying 2-Meter to Nats, there has to be a

entice the elite to travel for an event, but it's closing the door on
new fliers to say they're worthless.

The 845 is good for normal environments. It's not the best tape if you
are in a hot location where you regularly fly above mid-90 degrees. Not
too bad in the cold.
