I have become a real fan of laminating films on my foam planes. The 7 and 10 mil DI Laminating film make really stiff and smooth wings. Currently Aloft only has 5 and 3 mil. I am wondering if 5 mil is really all I need. I am very hard on my slopers and the thicker the film the stronger and smoother my wings. I would be interested in hearing other peoples experiences and opinions. Wayne is exploring options for getting the thicker films but currently they are available in 38" wide rolls, which are expensive to ship. How much interest is there for the thicker films?
I use CP films on balsa fins on the JW to make them light weight but strong with airfoils.
I really like being able to survive crashes like this one with only minor cosmetic damage! WARNING: turn down your volume, 30 to 40 mph wind noise.
