Re: TYPE 13 PETREL 1/4 SCALE
But the fuselage on my 1/5 Petrel is skinned with balsa not ply, so I've never used the car filler. The lightweight filler that I use in cracks and dents takes film okay over small areas but, as you say, I'd be wary of larger areas for fear of the filler lifting. I suspect the car body filler has much stronger cohesion than these lightweight fillers though, so may be okay.

Re: TYPE 13 PETREL 1/4 SCALE
just about finished now and soon be ready to fly. one last highly technical question - any recommendations for the rubber bands or other elastic to hold the wings?

If you Google No 63 Rubber Bands, I've been using these for years...

Finally, finally, a decent day's flying at White Sheet. The Petrel, along with other Slope Virgins, like Trev's 5th scale Petrel and my Zugvogel, had a merry old time... (Also, the little Wolf slopeside in it's new livery for the 1st time)
