Yeah but it looks good. Dose it help it last longer, any
Nic you've outdone your self this time! it looks like a proper airshow Chipmunk and it is one of the cleanest tape jobs I have seen.
Thanks man! I'll have the maiden video up by next week if the weather cooperates.
It actually looks like the tape I have on my ugly stick. That might be why I think it looks so good 
. unfortunately I have to de-commission that one due to flooding issues.

Also, where are you buying the aluminum spar (1/16" x 1/2" x 3') that you use in most of your builds from? I've looked at Home depot and Ace Hardware and I can only find (1/8" x 3/4" x 3'), which is very chunky.
When I login to FT forum, the first posts I look for are your build threads. It nice to see somebody taking the FT designs to a more advanced level for the more seasoned pilots. Also..... It's time to release the HOG...

Hes still using them jaxx, ha hes got me hook on that stuff its the best so far
Thanks soofly! I use colored packaging tape from tape bros and HobbyKing, they appear to be the exact same product. The yellow lines are made from electrical tape, one layer on the lighter strip and 2 on the darker.

Do you have a Lowes near you? That's where I got my spars. jayz was awesome enough to make me 36 spars and mail them to me, though. So I'm set for a few years (months? Haha)
The nnA-10 is getting close.. My goal is to have her released by the end of the year. Thanks for being patient with me on this one, it's definitely the most challenging design I've ever done. Just building a working A-10 is not hard, making the design simple and reproducible for all you guys is what takes some extra attention to do right! Stay tuned.
Yeah the pouches are just the right thickness. It's easy to work with and comes out so clean!
