Re: Help needed with beginner baby ringmaster
Agreed, it does look good, @chevyiron420. Once sealed & painted, bet it will look like a winner.

Good job @chevyiron420, you overcame an anomaly with the Wen Mac / Testor's rotomatic .049 in beam mounting. I think the beam mounting was more intended for their RTF planes. The bulkhead mount is normally resorted to by most, because of its ease.

Re: Help needed with beginner baby ringmaster
Chevy,
They look great and will fly just fine, I believe. They'll also fly fine nose-heavy. Wait until you fly one as-built, and one balanced as desired. Then do a back to back comparison.
How are you attempting to apply the tissue?
There are several ways to stick it and seal it. The trick will be to find a way that works with your fuel-proofing. This may be as easy as cut the tissue dry to pattern, and glue down dry with a glue stick. Let the glue dry and fuel proof as you did the model. It may help to use popsicle sticks to make a pair of pinchers that let you hang the pattern from one end and drape into place. Dry mount the pattern to establish witness marks to aid in alignment.
