Re: Carden 35% Edge 540 build.... 3-B
After some discussions and advice from some more experienced people.
It was recommended to skin the inside of the Durant clearance holes on the elevators. So here they are. The first ones are the the bare balsa sheeting epoxied in. I used 1/8 balsa on the floor and a 1/16 cap on the end. Never pay again for live sex! | Hot girls doing naughty stuff for free! | Chat for free!

Re: Carden 35% Edge 540 build.... 3-B
And the last ones are finished with a coat of thinned epoxy.
I was told that debris and grass can collect in there sometimes. So with the thin coating of Epoxy, i can easily wipe them out if needed. Never pay again for live sex! | Hot girls doing naughty stuff for free! | Chat for free!

Re: Carden 35% Edge 540 build.... 3-B
Good idea Brad to coat them with Epoxy!! On my 40% Carden Edge, I decided to cover the recesses with Monokote!! What a PITA!!! Your idea of Epoxy is much easier and surely more durable!!

Re: Carden 35% Edge 540 build.... 3-B
Well i decided to cover the hinge lines on the stabs. Its the first official touch of covering material to the plane
 I went all out. I set up a TV in the workshop so I could watch the game while working on these parts. Everything was going great until the third period  Then I started to think I might need to rethink my color scheme  I was thinking I should peel off the red and maybe consider blue and white  Oh well, life goes on..... Here are the hinge lines covered, servos installed and the brass hinge pins installed. I also covered the Durant box. The servos are in there to stay and the stabs are ready to continue covering  Now I need to step away from the build for a few days and concentrate on finishing the basement for the family room.

Re: Carden 35% Edge 540 build.... 3-B
Yup, when I was doing mine I had decided on a Red and Silver or Red and White checkerboard.
