Very good indeed!.This is a different world from over 55yrs ago when I had to use ‘tissue paste’ to adhere the tissue and wait till the next day before it was set, then shrinking the tissue first with water and when that had dried, then use a cellulose lacquer to get it taut. Things have certainly improved. Thank you!.

Nice to see you getting loose there, throwing that tape around! Smiles up :)

[@Georgeolddrones]

[@Sven_Hein]

James: That looks pretty good.

I'm thinking about building my first RC plane out of thin plywood and this, would this be good?

Balsa- Use mostly balsa until you get to the firewall/bulkhead for the motor

Btw I also bought a plane from you

[@MikeNugget]

I've covered foam planes with packaging tape but didn't thought it is possible with balsa planes, cool!

[@ukaszkowalczyk5334]

Good Job! I really like this chanel, because is the old school of airplanes model making . Greetings from Poland

[@wadedittus3552]

I do enjoy your videos. Your quite brilliant. I'm going to get into planes and it seems my budget is dictating building 🤣.
The covering had me nervous I thought of tape. You confirmed it. Thank you 🛩🛩

Have you experimented with ripstop fabric. Glue the fabric with covergrip then you can heat shrink this material. Ripstop fabric is cheap to buy and comes in a host of colours and patterns.

He stopped making these kits altogether if I’m not mistaken

[@Goodtimefishing]

Bought my self some tape and a plane kit,i want to see if this is working

[@cateyesaerial7703]

Sweet!

[@typxxilps]

Great content - have to buy one before UK leaves EU ... cause then everything will get more complicated and expensive as hobbyking had learned and established a EU facility in the netherlands. I hate to pick up things from customs which takes over an hour and to pay additional customs and VAT then.
This summer I will buy an old balsa kit to start again 20 plus years later.
