Let's try this again.

Date: Saturday, May 13
Location: Mark Satin's House...again!
Start time: 9:30 am

I will go through the steps of covering a model, adding trim and patching damaged areas.  I hope to have the Min-E-Chili Breeze ready so all elements can be covered in film.

Please register on this post and I will update the attendance list.  Mark will forward you his home address.

Unfortunately, I will be in Montreal on Saturday.
Looking forward to the World Premiere of the video!

We had our talk on covering from 9:30 to 12 at Mark Satin's house.  Thanks to Mark and Ruth for allowing us into their home.
I covered 3 of the 4 wing panels on my new Min-E-Chili Breeze 30" span plane.
Also covered the stab showing showing how to do a Solarfilm hinge (using covering as a gapless hinge) on a thin sheet stab/elevator, how to line up the wings/stab/fin-rudder and how to shrink twist into the wing.

If there is interest in it I will be happy to run it again.

Thanks for conducting the seminar Frank.
Although I've covered 3 planes, I learned a number of really good tips and tricks, and not just about covering!

Thanks Mark and Frank. I really enjoyed the seminar and learned a lot.

Frank, I would be very interested in a seminar on Choosing the Correct Power System for your Model, what to take into consideration.
