Cessna 180 Group Build

Oh it will fly even if I have to put a D rocket motor in it.

What sort of adhesive is recommended for the "celluloid"* material used for the Cessna's windows?

You can look on this as a "what tools and supplies should I have on hand before a build?" question, although in my case I'm just finishing a 602 I started years ago . . .

* Do they actually still use celluloid?

Saw you guys were starting so I had to run out and pick up the kit quick like

Haven't "officially" started yet, but I did manage to weigh the wood anyway. Life is dishing out a lot this week, but we'll see where it goes...

R C 560 Canopy glue works great on canopies and clear plastic. It dries clear and won't fog. On my fliers a few carefully placed drops does the trick.

Hey Wingnut! You borrowing Bill Parker's Scale?!!! 8000 grams Max!

yeah... I don't own a gram scale yet, just haven't gotten around to going to buy one, but I work in an R&D durability lab, where we have lots of expensive calibrated equipment. And they don't mind if I take 15 seconds of my lunch break to check something quick. I thought it was kind of funny using such a big scale though, but it works. I could have used the little one....but taking it out to a tenth of a milligram might be a little overkill perhaps

Still no progress on the build, hoping to maybe get the fuse laid out tomorrow evening.

My fuse halfs are done, I am actully a little further along than this but with the boards being down and not posting anything I couldn't update my progression.
