Last night at our monthly meeting Charlie Nelson gave at talk about his
Waco VKS7K 1/5.3 scale. For anyone who doesn't know Charlie he won 1st
place in the 1992 TOP GUN in expert class.
One of Charlie's tip is the use of wood filler. I asked him what he
used to fill balsa and plywood. He uses that same stuff I use. ELmers
Lite Spackle. Instead of paying big bucks for that stuff at the hobby
story just go to the hardware store and get the same thing a lot
cheaper. Another interesting point he uses ZAP everywhere, no epoxy....

I've seen many of Charlie's models in the partial construction phase
and they are works of art. His wood joints are perfect! Everything is
cut to fit perfectly. This is important if you use Zap everywhere.

It must be something about the name "Charlie", because I've seen
Charlie Watt's planes and they're built just as meticulously!

You don't do so bad yourself, Dave! You just forget to put an engine
in most of your planes. :-)
