OMG bruh! I like this method better than the new ish...

This stuff would challenge my patience for sure. I can't even imagine doing an entire airframe!

Super Flying, maybe for me later. I hope

Wondering if Ed Clayman still sells Flite Metal

This is good old fashioned “foil tape used to mend ducts in air conditioning. Believe me, the foil after it’s applied is a real bad idea in that it scores VERY EASELY. If you rub against it, then it mars or leaves a mark. It looks nice AT FIRST. But I don’t see how this will hold up over time on a model because it’s HELL TO GET OF & there’s no way in hell you’ll get it off a model or much else of anything else. Its for life if you do it: It’s “till death do you part”

Very cool Video. What RC model can you recommend for me as an advanced user for $300 max?

Also - don't do the loop to close to yourself. When it drifts to one side it can end up behind you. Things go downhill fast from there. Ask me how I know.

Very good tutorial,and piloting skills here bud !!! Wicked awesome !!!

I tried it with Alufoil , looks good .

excellent video! thank you for doing this. How do I clean flitemetal if there is glue on it?

That Tomcat in the background is beautiful.

I used something like this over the years from the hardware store. We used it on refrigeration work. It kind of makes the model heavier but really give it a realistic look. I’m building a guillow P- 47D/30RA. Thunder bolt fighter plane. With a 32” wing span plane now. Making it into an electric power 5 channel set up. High quality scale model. I went crazy on the cockpit and pilot.

Help I crashed my first 100 cm helicopter

I am trying to make my 200 sized heli do the quadcopter quick flips. And this is a good starting point.

watching this makes me like/love paint even more,,,, ole USN vet

Mais qu'ils sont chiants ces rosbeefs à vouloir tout expliquer dans les moindres détails tout ce qu'ils font !! 😠😠😠 Que de temps perdu en blabla !! Et que de CO2 rejeté dans l'atmosphère !! 😡😡

Aluminum A/C tape? Lowe's? works the same

Very good video...thanks. Almost destroyed an mcpx doing one of these lol. I didn't think anything that light could hit the ground that hard.

Would this work on foam planes? Would like to know. Might be worth a try.

anyone tell me about signal degradation. I had a guy tell me that the receiver would not be able to pick up the transmitter signal or at least degrade the signal as you are surrounding the receiver with aluminum?

Thanks :)

this has been very helpful :)

Thanks for the info Joe. Most appreciated.

Ha,I use normal aluminium tape from the hobby store, way cheaper (10$) than flite metal and exactly the same quality..flite metal it's just a ripoff!

Can't let this pass, dude. The WHOLE POINT of this segment was how to create a professional looking butt joint. Didn't you watch it???? As for the weight, it's .0018 thick. I doubt you can primer and paint a plane and come out any lighter.

great job, thinking of using it for my fpv wing, any experience with transmission effect, also wondering about the weight and how to make it look butted

I got to the 'not pretty' stage of the overlap several times and decided FM wasn't for me. I went back and tried again with your guidance and it worked perfectly. Thank you!

I love Frank and you guys too! Now I am looking for a new woman!! Thanks Frank!
