Dunno if I actually said it in the video... But here goes.

Hit "forum", click a "category" (off topics and general interest?) Once in a category, over on the right is a "New Topic" button. 

Prolly not the most intuitive interface...

Hey Riddick, I had the same problem with starting a new subject.  I stumbled onto the fact that when I searched on eaglers nest The screen that came up had the header FORUM and 1 1/2" down and to the right is a black box that says new subject.  Hit this and you can sstart a new post.  However! the only way I can get to this page is togo out of eaglers nest and come back in again.  You'll notice that the forum page once acdessed causes the new subject block  to disappear.  Maybe Dan can explain all this or some of the frequent possters can tell us how they starrt a new subject.  DA

Dan, I just did this and all I see is a black 2 x 2 square.  No buttons to push.  DA

Right above this off topic post are some big blue and orange letters that take you to a video explaining how to post.  

I realize I talk funny, so you can hit pause and back it up if you need to.

Thanks all for the replies.  However, I think I have solved the issue.  By my calculations I only need  one 25 yrd roll of 1" tape and one 25 yrd roll of 4"tape. I'll get the 2" tapes by cutting them out of the excess 4'. So I'll go with the super- flite tapes. TKS again,  Possum

That's good info. I wonder if it does as well with PolyFiber system?

I used peel ply on Mouser back in the day because I didn't know any better.  You can look at Mouser and use it as a primer on "how not to do it."  It is still stuck, though..

I've been flying for eight years with the peel ply and no problems using the Stuart System covering method.
