Re: M100S
Suffering aileron-envy here.
Often known to hinge my ailerons using the "Diamond tape" method. Highly technical.
Mesmerising workmanship as ever Robbie.

Re: M100S
Thanks for comment Rog.
Don't worry about the 'Diamond' tape, after the last few weeks it has taken on a whole new appeal for me. I'm a fan anyway, used it lots over the years when its been possible.
Had a sport aerobatic model pile into the slope at a trillion mph some years ago - amongst the sea of 'confetti' there were the ailerons still stuck to the top balsa sheeting/glass cloth with 'Diamond' tape. Be very sad when my last roll runs out.

Whoops time - really must concentrate more.
Spot the deliberate mistake:
...........and an object lesson in being careful with the scalpel when trimming Diatex:
Sod stripping it all off, I'm just going to patch the bay and hide the joint when I paint - it's underneath anyway.
Well that's two, just waiting for number three to come along now. This is doing my legendary, speed of light building no end of good......................

Re: M100S
Uuummmmmm . . .. You used 'Left twisted' servo wire in the right wing ? ? ?
BTW, I bet there isn't a fullsize M100 out there that doesn't have any patches . . . a flying one that is.
You won't see it at 500ft anyway. (the patch I mean

PS:- Do you have a colour scheme picked out yet? I like this one.

Re: M100S
Started giving some thought to the canopy plug - being rather complicated by the rise at the front of the opening. Not quite as straight forward as a conventional cockpit.
It will be out of high density blue foam so I thought I would produce a plug to exactly fit the opening then add the front, rear and bottom extensions to enable the pull, gradually flattening out the rise to a straight base - unless someone can think of a better way.
