Hi Márton
wellcome to the forum. I see that you are moving quite fast with your constrcution. Please update us with the advancement. Perhaps you want to open another thread telling us a little bit about modelbuilding and flying indeed in Romanie, or perhaps if Vincent accepts you are doing it just here.
Have fun
Stephan

I can't weld the alu tubes for the cockpit. I tried so many ways but doesn't work. I tried the epoxy too, but still nothing.

Hi Marton,

What about the canopy we can see on one of the pictures above ?

That's not the one from your Doppi ?

Otherwise, what is your problem with the welding ? What are you using ?
Maybe the tube or what you are using to weld is not appropriated

Let us know, Vincent is now a master welder !

Canopy in brass (laiton?) is more easy to solder, like this

[loopingfred]

Ooppss sorry, missed a part !
If you are using aluminium tubes, that harder to weld together without the right tools.
As Vincent suggested, brass tube are much more easier to sold together !
But as Stepahn said, I too can confirm that you can glue alu tubes together with epoxy. Hold the tubes together before gluing with a wire (or wooden pins) inside the tube junctions.

Hope this help.

[phoenix27]

The right wing almost ready...

[Stephan]

[phoenix27]

Ok thanks. I will try today.
Tonight a worked with the triangles ( ) What can I say.... You need selfcontrol to do that

[phoenix27]

Oh.. I forgot to say that I have to finish till thursday, because friday will be the meetingday of the romanian modelers at Sebes. I want to show them something interesting

[Stephan]

[phoenix27]

I will use oracover (white), and I(hope) will finish. Now I work with the canopy.

[loopingfred]

Good luck mate !
And don't forget the pictures !

ha oui Marco c'est ton Dopp, mais ce n'est pas du désordre un Dopp dans la cuisine, c'est naturel, chez tous les bons modélistes, il y a des outils dans le salon, du plastique dans le four, de la cyano dans le frigidaire, du balsa dans la chambre....

[phoenix27]

Question: What kind of paint is supported by oracover? I have 2 days to finish

[Stephan]

[loopingfred]

Hi Marton,
You can use any paint with Oracover.
For me, I go to the DIY store and take any paint. Usually I take the "one coat" type paint. No need for car paint and so on, "normal" wall paint do it.

[phoenix27]

ok. Here is my pilot, on his place

[patte de loup]

Wellcome Marton,Where is the second pilote the " Meister "? . So I confirm the answer of Fred regarding painting. No special paint
