Oh, no this doesn't go on the paper, this is for the canopy. It's clear plastic that you can cut and shape. The pack comes in 10 and they have like a sticky side and a clear plastic side, I just cut off the sticky and use the plastic.

Hmm mine weighs 155 and your is 140. I made my pod a inch longer then the plans and squared it off cause i knew it would sit back far
So the polycrylic directly on DTFB with the original paper is a bad idea. It makes the paper hard and everything feels stiff but as soon as you bend it or stress it at all the paper breaks free and falls apart. I do not suggest anyone leave the original paper on if using the polycrylic.
I'm still applying layers to the drop paper method to see how it holds up but so far the paper is fully bonded and looks very promising.

Such a great design by nerdnic. Flawless execution by jayz! Darn placking tape.
I think i might paint the designs on cause that packing tape sux i dont see that canopy tape lasting long. Well see
Looks clean man! Did you use the new scotch clear material for the canopy? Looks so precise.
I had to add some glue to my canopy, tape wasn't enough. I really want to come up with a better canopy install in general so the canopy locks in place but can come off for rx swap/etc.

Nice job jayz!!! That nnMig-3 looks like a moulded EPO airplane.
Oh, one word of advice on flying now that I've put more hours on her:
1) launch with lots of power and throw her hard
2) land hot, she wants to tip stall out of a flare
3) go easy on the elevator at first, it's pretty responsive
4) CG is pretty sensitive so error on nose heavy if you have to at first
5) hang on, she's gonna rip

Man, this thing looks awesome! I'm about to take a shower, then I'm going to Walmart to get that stuff for the canopy. Did you use a single sheet?

Ya it the scotch material. I tried gluing it but the back part was giving me a hard time im not to happy with it. But the tab idea sounds like a plan id like to beable to remove it. But i went with the old mixwax then dusted it with white paint. I got very lucky i was letting it dry on my patio and it started to poor out side almost on my plane i saved it just in time
