Flite Test - Repairing Covering Film - FLITE TIP 

I would love to see some more balsa stuff. Not a ton of videos out there and you all do such a great job!

Music volume was a little too high :)

GET RID OF THE BACKGROUND 'MUSIC' IT MADE THIS UNWATCHABLE TO ME

Music too loud or my speakers rock !. ?...in the wrong way. :(

Music background makes it hard to understand. Noone comes here to hear music.

As usuall, excellent videos! But may you PLEASE lower the volume of the drum loop on your videos it is really too loud. And may you please tell me which cameras you're using for filming your videos? Many thanks!

More balsa videos, please.

Very good video. don't need the music bit off putting when trying too listen too what you are saying.

I could do without the music

I tried to watch this, but couldn't understand your words because of the music. I will look elsewhere for this info.

Thanks for teaching us. You guys are RU-vid's best for RC everything. For the next tip, how about shopwing us how to use fiberglass cloth for repairs?

ah yes the golden age of flitetest videos

Repair Boeing Airbus composite overlap is 1/2". Covering Film looks to be 1/4". Color packing tape is better faster stronger with the new adhesives by 3M or Scott lots stronger. Larger areas where shrinkage is desired to remove a fowl up in packing tap pull then covering film repair. Clean Boeing Airbus composite clean is polar clean nonpolar clean meaning water based clean the solent clean. Past was water based and MEK but MEK is iffegal in the states IPA or Acetone or any good solvent work

Do you need the music??

This is instructional video and not a movie with movie stars... you showing yourself snd your faces but hardly any instructions. Also talking about too much howbit happen... well who cares. We want to see how to repair it.... thumbs fown for that.

what kind using the camera? The picture quality is really good.

hello, the videos are very good, but I come to ask that include subtitles in Portuguese for Brazil, Brazilians would appreciate. (Closed Caption in Portuguese)

Great tips! Very hard to understand you though, back ground music is way too loud!!!

what is the real job of Josh Bixler? Does anyone Knows?

bubbles haha... i have found the best way to double over covering and not have any bubbles is to take a T-pin and poke a bunch of pin holes onto the first layer of fresh covering, so when you add your second layer (or) color with your iron... it will be bubble free. wich saves time and looks like it was done from the factory...

Like your videos really educational was wondering if you could do a video on fabric covering and rc airplane

MuuuuuuuuuuuuuuZZaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaK NOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo

needs less volume on the music and more on the talking

@freeflymonkey hey man u dont need to be so mean. these guys are awesome and they're trying to help poeple like u and me. but ur right about the charlie sheen thing

Flight test has been around a long time

@desidudes78 these guys are awesome -- i was just wondering about his finger. looked painful. the videos are hilarious and educating. i watch them all the time. not trying to make fun of him but sheesh... looks gnarly.

what should the heat knob on the heat iron be when repairing plane film?

Josh: you never want to get a wrinkles on top of a wrinkles otherwise you gets? Josh: 2 old people LMAOOOOOOOOOO Josh u son of a b**ch u cracked me up

rippin' and tearin'

can you tell me whats the correct yellow number for this pitts from hobbyking? what kote did you use? maybe this cyan yellow 105 from hobbyking ?

Hi flitetest, i have a small hole in my irvine tutor 2 wing, its balsa and has the film on it, i dont have any of that film spare to patch it up, Anything else i could use?the hole is about 2" by 2" max, i hope to hear back from you thanks :)

Great tips.

Where can I get a good balsa kit now? I dont se manny good one's online anymore

If I had a part for every person named josh in your channel then I would have a complete plane lol

You guys should definately do some videos detailing your camera/ studio setup. I am sure that it would make many people happy!

lol Josh's reaction to shrinkage!

wrinkle on wrinkle, you will get 2 old people :D

Hi Flite Test loving your channel and humour. Always a great time watching show. I was honestly surprised when the covering across leading edge was being excised, to see no balsa panel curved across and protecting/ reinforcing leading edge.

what a kind using the camera? The picture quality is really good.

Excellent info-video!!! Thanks for sharing!!

man i just put a hole in my new plane havent put it all together yet ! you guys are doing a great job keep it up

get some clear packing tape and slap it on... DONE

is the film the same as monokote

nicee jobb but we r still waiting for those LA videos

HA! He said shrinkage!

I just subscribed and there a new video uploaded 40 minutes ago

Voudrait mieux voir l aile à réparer que leurs tronches constament

Thats nice but what sort or iron are you using, and were can you buy one ?.

Can I use this "flim" on foam???

Turn off that stupid drumming off so we can hear the lads.

first

thanks, nice tune btw.

Nice job, guys! :)

I can never use the heat gun without it burning the covering shrinking to much or messing up the covering around the patch \....please help meee!!!1

ar u def

yes sir!

Painter.

I couldn’t make it thru the whole video with that horrible drumming going on in the background while I’m trying to hear these guys talk.

what temp do you use????

Where can I get one of those irons and the new covering film?

Good content, but Lordy! I wish you guys would cut the "music" volume by at least half! (Totally absent would be even better.) Overriding, distracting, downright irritating, & totally unnecessary.

@BunnyHairedKid nm

drum machine is really annoying !!!!!!!!!!

No matter how many years pass Josh always pretends to be a noob... ?
