Upgrade NowThanks, guys. When I get a good day, will do another flight.
I'm using tube couplers to reinforce the thin tube. I will even use a coupler between the centering rings.Joe, is that a picture of the thicker LOC tube with the wrap around it? Your picture is timely - I was just considering whether I should replace the thin tube with a thicker, LOC tube I happened to have around.

If you apply the tape and then give the join a quick coat of the underlying color it seals the tape edge. This is the suggested method in the 001969 kit.
How was the Tamiya tape? Worked well otherwise?
My master plan is to use masking tape and tamp it into the corrugations using a specially crafted tool. A Popsicle stick which has been sharpened a little. I will then seal the edges of the tape with the same base color, as suggested in the instructions.Buy many of them require masking across the ribbing (horizontal) which strikes me as a nightmare. Does anyone have suggestions on how to do this?
Nice flight! What motor did you use?
