    I'll have to try that baking soda trick, I've got about 10 kilos of it, bought for soda blasting some 1:1 car parts, but my garage compressor wasn't man enough.

      Rick. I’ve been using this trick for years beats the mud

      Allen. I think I have it beat into submission at this point. You mentioned putting a tarp over it funny this afternoon I just put some stuff over the windshield to act as a tarp to protect the front glass I’ll post pics later.

      Pete. I think you won’t be disappointed just do light layers and build it up as you go

            Hi Lee
            Interesting project. Nice start on the helicopter. I'm sure you'll sort out the fit issues. I've heard of using CA and talcum powder as a filler but not baking powder. Not tried it.

                The only thing I did last night was added some weight to the Helicopter to help with the car ride

                  Built the props today and worked on the interior and installed the glass. I wasn’t planning on putting the interior in but now things have changed

                    Hi Lee, So if your not putting the cockpit together, does that mean it will be covered with a tarp? Rick H.
