covering

[Viking]

Hi all.
Can anyone tell me if using fine polyester cloth for covering model
airplanes, I have made a test on a piece
of white Styrofoam and glued it on with 50% yellow carpenters glue and 50%
water and than painted it
with regular spray paint. The finish looks great and solid.
any info on covering is appreciated.

you should try rec.models.rc.air for this question. I think they're using
tissue paper and a special dope for frame and wing skin.
