TIP OF THE MONTH

Sealing Balsa and

filing large Cracks

with Body Putty

Use a mixture of baby

powder, Elmer’s glue, &

water. To seal the pores of

balsa wood, make the

mixture watery & apply with

a paint brush, for cracks &

especially wing roots, mix it

thick, apply with your fingers

then smooth out to the shape

you want with a wet finger.

This mixture sands very

easily, but if you use too

much Elmer’s glue it will be

harder to sand, so experiment

with the mixture.

One caution with this body

putty, the balsa must be

sealed first with 2 coats of

clear dope, otherwise the

water will warp the balsa and

it may not return to the

original shape when dry, so

dope it first.

This stuff is cheap, large

package of baby powder at

the dollar store, and Elmer’s

glue is under a buck, so for 2

dollars you can make lots of

body putty.

MODEL OF THE MONTH

Bernie’s Crack Yak

The Crack Yak-55 was designed

with Twisted Hobbys Team pilot

Chris Jewett for the pilots wanting

the most extreme flight

characteristics in a profile EPP 3D

model.

With the newest design concepts for

EPP construction this bird was

made to be built fast and out last

the competition. Pre-hinged

constructions along with new truss

design makes the Edge one of the

fastest EPP models in its class to

built yet keeping the tail section

rigid for precision flying. Each kit

included high quality printed EPP

airframe, carbon fiber control

rod’s, laser cut wood control horns

with adjustable links, fiber motor

mount and completed z-bend and

shrink tubing.
