    Test on the underside of the wing. I can't the tape to mold/ form over the rope pieces. I will search for smaller rope.

    Multiple shrunk areas was just me realizing the strip was coming off anyway so a little bit of heat testing.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    Wrapped up the taping of the fuse and started heat sealing. I wasn't aware that I had bumped the house iron and the heat climbed too much. I'll have to strip the tape off and replace.
