"Vargowock" O/T Stick, built last winter - as yet unflown due to lack of opportunity

Hopefully to be rectified before the snow sets in! ;) Gorgeous work Apples!

Here's another sideways pic off this "smart" phone.

I reckon Jim will know now what it is.

Looks like a Thermal Bug. Building a wing that's doesn't warp when the tissue is stretched is what's stopped me from trying this one. But I do have a Vargowock all framed out... just waiting on a new burst of enthusiasm.

Well done cd_webb.
Thermal Bug it is.
I intend to cover the wing and tail with some hard domestic tissue I've had here for a long time. Will use thinned with water PVA to attach it and leave it as it is......No water shrink or dope.
I even thought I might only single cover the stab. and fin as a Super Dupa is??????
It will only be a fun flier on a nice day as I have other rubber jobs to use in competition when they need to be built correctly.
Fuselage will probably be covered with Esaki.

Well done again.

Covered the stab yesterday with the orange domestic tissue and it's awful.
Tried steaming it, but still awful, so it's coming off and the model will be covered in good old Esaki.

Will use this domestic tissue for wrapping gifts etc. as it was/is designed for.

Will post a pic when it's finished on a new thread.
