Hi guys August 27, 2011

Hi All,

Its official, I will be making my Flitzer in "French inspiration", meaning french style chevron, french writing in cockpit (has exotic and unreadable has german for most pilots?). All ideas are welcome. Included are some inspiration pictures including one from Lynn. Thanks Lynn!

I have a question for those that use T-88 (Larry and the Baron?). After many talks with Lynn, I have decided to ply cover all of the fin like the "Albert 110" (see pictures). Can you guys explain in detail how you install 1 mm ply with T-88 using while wetting the plywood to get a smooth "thight" finish? I know the T-88 will glue to wet surfaces. How long do I wet the ply before? Do I need to keep it wet while the glue sets? Do I varnish the areas that will not get glue inside, then wet, then epoxy? Do I need to do the two sides of the fin in one shot to prevent warping? Any and all info is welcome. Off course I will videoing all my trials. Thanks guys.
