Water-Based Paint and Flat Sheet

by Tim Wescott <tim@[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Jul 7, 2008 at 12:18 PM

I've got some Nelson's water based paint that I used on a 
polyspan-covered model a few years ago.  It worked great, and I'll use 
it again.

But the next project is an all-sheet C/L model (like this one, 
http://www.ccwebster.net/robintim/cap_232/cap232.html,
only sized to fit 
the engine).

I have visions of building a nice flat wing out of 1/8 sheet, then 
having it warp like a pretzel when I apply paint.

Should I worry?  Has anyone had any mileage with Nelson's or other 
water-based paint on sheet?  I'd love to use this stuff if it'll work as 
well as good old dope, but I certainly know how to do a good job with 
dope if that's the way to go.

Do you need to implement control loops in software?
"Applied Control Theory for Embedded Systems" gives you just what it says.
