Hey Vincent,
Glad to hear the Tiger flew so well on it’s maiden voyage. I think you are on the right track moving the CG back a little bit for a test flight to see if it improves performance....

Applying Trim

For applying overlay trim, I do not think there is a better way. I do the same thing except - I usually use my TopFlight trim iron and it does not have a variable heat setting. Either High or Low and...

Hey Vince,
By looking at the pictures, I can not tell- I can't see an overlap line. Did you cover the whole wing in white then add the trim? Just curious...

Cool Covering a wing

Man, there is so much to be said from watching that video.
