JJacobi Posted March 7, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted March 7, 2017 Planking done by coat of wood glue on oak strips and on the hull, let dry completely and then use a small heat iron to install the oak strips, works, great! You can add some food color dye to se the areas that you have covered with glue You have an instant bond. We used this method sheeting our R/C aircraft Captain Poison, CraigVT, GrantGoodale and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charter33 Posted March 7, 2017 Share #9 Posted March 7, 2017 Impressive work! - especially your method of applying second planking, the sharpness of the paint finish and the quality of the copper plating. You're a couple of pages of the instruction manual ahead of me. I shall be following your progress with considerable interest. Cheers, Graham.
