Has anyone ever tried using HVAC aluminum foil tape or equivalent on one of these foam jets? If so, please share your results. Thanks

You can use it, same product, same procedure.

I have not used it on a jet yet, but I did use it to cover my LX B-25.Comment

HVAC tape worked well on my FMS B-25. I wasn’t sure if the metal would interfere with the Orange Rx, so I mounted it in the top turret with the antenna beyond the fuse. No problems and the tape has held up well.

That is quite impressive. Do you notice any flight characteristic changes with the added weight?

Thanks CVA59. Not that I recall, but truth be told, I had wrecked the Mitchell and took the opportunity to add flaps (https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/.php...-B-25-flap-mod) and the foil. The remaiden involved an entirely different airplane.GP Sport Zero, scratch built MA Sky Skimmer, VQ SBD, Eflite Pulse XT & RV-9, FW Stinger 64, Hanger 9 Saratoga, GP P6-E Hawk, FMS Stuka & B-25, Lanyu Do335, PZ Albatros, Eflite Hurricane 25e, Airfield F4-U, Freewing P-51D, Dynam Tempest, Bf-110 & 182, GWS Mustang & Formosa, FZ Switch, Eflite L-4, RocHobby Critical Mass, Alien Aircraft Gadget, RCM&E scratch built CanDoo, Dynaflite Piece O’Cake, HK Ventus, FZ Beaver, Avios Sea Fury, Uravitch 52" OV-10, Herr Engineering J-3Comment

Just covering a P-40 fuse with the taper version of Flite metal, I.E. chrome duct tape, just for something to do to while away the time.
I have Flite Metaled a FL P-51.
She's a little rough now as she augured in and sat until I got up the guts to rebuild her. Seems to fly better now
