Preshrinking Tissue Paper for Stick and Tissue Planes

Here’s a tip from Chuck Young.

He’s been helping kids make planes at school.

In order to prevent the tissue from shrinking and warping the plane, he’s been preshrinking the tissue.

I’ve heard of this before and I know it works.

What I’ve been doing is having children crumple the wing tissue before building. That way there is a bit of pre-tension in the tissue so the problem never occurs.
