rightstuffer, the people who did the Cub, didn't wash let alone understand wash-in or wash-out. You had my attention until you mentioned TE. What's that? Given the course of the advice, I would assume that it means "follows the curve of the upper surface and lower surface.


Regarding the drooping ailerons and flaps, was it Maule or Mooney who found that setting the flaps to a few degrees negative deflection decreased the drag of the wing and gave a few extra knots?

When you see the Cub, it will still be "dead fly on windscreen" yellow. I am going to have to tiptoe around disturbing expensive to repaint colours. I'm building up to doing the fabric on the undercarriage (what a wonderfully quaint term that is "how's your undercariage my dear?). So far I've managed to screw up revarnishing my prop, lots of runs, re-sanding, oh b*gger, the varnish still isn't dry!!!!!!!!! Let's do it again then shall we.......... Rats and double rats. Now the house stinks of varnish and the carpet is covered in this white dust. I've been fighting Columbians off for the last 2 days!
