Today I used some Poly-Tak, an aircraft fabric cement, as a structural
adhesive. I don't use Poly-Brush as a structural adhesive, but you're
welcome to for those little flitting 50 mph things you build.

That's nice.
And you glued eight yards of fabric to a wood skinned wing?
How did that turn out? Real smooth, huh?
Ah, question? How are you going to iron it out?
If the glue releases at 250 degrees,
but the fabric needs 350 degrees to reach working tightness???



My little 75! mph thingies actually fly. Very well, in fact.

It was designed to be built for $5000 US or so, fly like a 'real'
airplane, handle like a dream, and be constructed from raw material
by novices using only hand tools.

But we don't want to over constrain the design, do we!?

(Oh, BTW, this new plane is all Polyfiber from brush to color.
and it is starting to look real nice.

So here is the deal, guy...

If you wish to continue this rant, I'd like to invite you to show
us what _YOU_ have designed, built, and flown.
Ok?

Now, changing subjects abruptly...

Steve Wittman married a woman half his age - not because he was a
wealthy old coot who could afford to keep a kitten -
but because she loved him, and he loved her.

I loved him too.

As for your rant about Big Bad BoB?

Son, you just plain don't know what you are talking about,
and, I fear, are not worth the effort to educate.
