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.
It’s possible to print on the tissue paper using an ink jet printer. You can then make any design you want for your airplanes using a graphics program on a computer.
Glue tissue to an ordinary piece of paper using a glue stick. Print on it, then remove the tissue from the paper. If you only glue the border area, it shoudl be easy to separate.
Separate it right away before the glue sets as well.
