Taping Tip
Covering the top and bottom of the wing in contrasting colors makes the plane much
easier to fly. Apply the darker color on the bottom surface. An optional roll of color
poly tape will be required to do this.
Place weights on the wing panel opposite the side being covered. Apply the tape with-
out stretching it. Pull a 30 inch length of tape off the roll. Hold roll in one hand and
the cut end in the other. Hold the length of tape parallel to the panel about two inches
above the surface. Sight directly over the panel to measure the overlap. Touch the cut
end to the panel. Without stretching the tape, lower the other end of the tape.
(See Figure 6)
Apply a light coat of (#77) to the fiber tape on the wing. Lay the wing in
the top beds bottom-side up. Start the color covering tape at the trailing edge (TE) of the
wing by wrapping a strip of color tape around the TE being careful to follow the shape.
Working from the TE forward, lay strips of tape from tip to
at least 4 inches past center
.
Overlap the tape only 1/4" all the way from the center to the tip. Cut the tape to match the
angle of the leading edge (LE). Place the wing top-side up in the bottom beds and repeat
the taping procedure working from TE forward to the LE. Finish the leading edge with a
single spanwise piece of tape wrapped around the LE.
