Thanks, buddy. Coming from someone who's owned a real T-crate, that means a lot. I've watched videos of full-size clipped wing Taylorcrafts doing airshow work. I want to emulate them as much as possible. All I need to figure out is how to incorporate a smoke system on an electric powered model. Hmm. As for yours, at 16 ounces, that's not an airplane, that's a kite! Ha! You should measure the wing loading at grams per square foot. I can see where what covering to use on something like that can be a bit of a dilemma. Too big for tissue but not strong enough for Iron-ons. Silkspan maybe?
