That's coming along nicely . I like the way the wing bottoms look .
Thanks 👍
Looks fantastic Cliff she's going to be a real eye catcher.
Your right about the importance of getting the dope thinners mix correct.
Yes, cheers Mark, thanks to your insights 👍🙂
Nice looking build cliff❤
Thanks Ron 👍
Very, very cool build, Cliff. I had a chuckle when I saw the hair care brand bottle I use, sat on your modelling board... then it all made perfect sense 😄 Can't wait to see this lovely Triplane flying!
Thanks Gina, I like that spray bottle because it's a very fine mist and it still smells nice 😁👍

Looking so lovely Cliff! A beautiful job as always!
Thank you Mike! Cheers 🙂
WOW, great work! Everything is perfect and looks really good. It will be a very nice model! Greetings from Lübeck
Thanks 🙂👍
👍👍👍
Thanks Robin 👍
Doculam does indeed have the same shrinking power as regular coverings, it just takes an industrial heat gun and much higher heat then the hobby iron can deliver. It's still not as stretchy as Monocoat or Ultracoat, so one has to be super on top of it for the initial tacking down. You moved very quickly, more quickly then I do with mine using a hobby iron though.
Thanks for that info, I didn't want to shrink It too much anyway as it's a fairly light structure but I'll try more heat and slower next time, cheers
@@CliffHarveyRCPlanes There is low temp Doculam and I would be totally off with the recommendation if you were using it, but high temp seems to be the bulk of what's out there and started with 1.7 mil, using 1.5 now, it took some rather getting it through my thick head, this stuff loves high heat, well, until it melts a big hole because you pushed it too far, but that's for another dialog. I discovered using glue stick in tangent with the Doculam, laying it down tissue paper style has huge advantages and it doesn't require so much high heat to at least get those initial tacks down, but once full, Doculam level heat is applied, you are ripping up the stock it's adhered to before removing it from it, so use it tactfully in areas you have no plans to reposition. Polyhedral wing just done up with this combo worked out perfect and you know how hard they are to do.
Hi Brian, I'm not quite sure the advantage of sticking the Doculam down with gluestick, does the glue stick prevent the Doculam glue from adhering?
Lindo este trabalho. Uma pergunta a planta obde vc arrumou
Hi Herberth, the rudder and elevator servos are roughly where the plan suggests but I've added the ailerons and therefore servos as well, cheers
Que lindo o projeto. Perguntamo a planta do modelo onde vc arrumou.
Hi Herberth, the link to the free plan is in the description below the video, cheers 👍
She is coming along rather nicely, well done. I have a question regarding the dope you are using. It seems to be of a quite dark brownish colour, why would that be? The dope i had back in the days was totally clear and had only a slight tinge into a very thin golden yellow, i always could see the bottom of the tin through the dope. Why is yours so dark?
Thanks Elnufo, I think it's just tainted with a less than clean brush ... I think it adds character 😁👍
Hey Cliff, I see you working your medelling majic again! Looks wonderful and professional! Had a question about the Doculam - I've been trying to get some closer to Canada, but all of the product available here seems quite thick (3 - 5 mil), whereas yours appears to be 2.5mil or so. Any ideas on where I can get my hands on some of that good stuff? 😊
Thanks Larry, personally I only know of my local source, refreshcartridges.co.uk 🤔👍
Looking great Cliff! Is the color scheme N5377? It is .....commented too soon!
Thanks for watching, I love the red fin, it really sets it off 👍
Looking great Cliff, a question, why do you need to thin out the Dope?
Thanks Chris, two reasons really, thinned it goes on more evenly and doesn't over-shrink the tissue and more importantly the thinners evaporates so half the weight is gone 🙂👍
@@CliffHarveyRCPlanes what ratio would you say is a good mix?
@DadsRCHangar you can start with 50% dope and if that's not enough you could add a little more or less on a test piece and see the result 👍
That's a fine job. I am still trying to understand the coverings.
Why did you cover it twice, first with doculam and later with tissue? Will that not increase the weight?
What dis you use for dope? Deluxe material dope?
Hi Yasser, the Diculam adds very little weight but adds a lot of strength to the tissue 👍 I use cellulose dope suitably thinned with cellulose thinners made by 'Guild' 🙂
@@CliffHarveyRCPlanes
Thank you so much for the reply.
What is your opinion about Deluxe materials dope, as compared to the Guild cellulose dope?
@@yassermasood3423I've never used to the deluxe materials dope but I have used deluxe materials glue and it's very good, I suspect the only difference is the price 👍
Hi Cliff , really enjoying this build and benefitting from your experience. Could you tell me where you get your doculam from please. I checked on eBay and it is only available from US
Hi Andrew, I'm lucky as a shop that sells it is only five miles from me, here's their website but a quick search didn't bring it up but they definitely sell it, cheers refreshcartridges.co.uk/
@@CliffHarveyRCPlanes thanks Cliff , what gsm do you normally use
I use the 38 micron thickness, 320mm wide role, this is a good mid-range thickness for small and large models 👍
qhat is that coweringmaterial?
Hi Thomas, the clear is a laminating film called Doculam and the second covering is tissue 👍
That is incredible .I've never seen that before. Of course, I'm new, but how pretty and sharp.
@@robertgribbin6444 Thanks Robert, it has its uses 👍
