Orcon film can be stuck with CA?
Can it be stuck with normal cello-tape (or scotch tape) from office stationary shop?
Thanks

Dr. Kakuta,
Finally I couldn't get Orcon, (I'll keep trying with Kitebuilders).
In the meanwhile I ordered some 0.75oz/sq yd rip-stop from a kite shop....
But when I received it and checked the weight, it comes to around 1.45zo/sq yd
you think this is too heavy?
Thanks.

Dr. Kakuta, I am preparing a materials list for construction of your wonderful looking and flying Kestrel. Could you please email me the plans as an attachment since I am having a problem getting a good quality image from the plans posted in this RCGroups forum. ill2fla@gmail.com

Also, on August 2 Raj Quest asked this question: What is the flap angle? How many degrees up and down? Perhaps I missed it, but I didn't see the answer.
Thank you for your efforts in excellent design and willingness to share your knowledge.

Also I would like to know the flaps-per-second

Thanks
