RE: Covering Recomendations
I have never used the plastic coverings. I’m sure they’re wonderful and I’ve seen excellent examples and some not so good jobs at the field. However I started many years ago with silk and dope, then nylon and dope, and now use Sig Koverall and dope. It’s a mess, takes a special workspace that can handle the fumes, and is a bit more trouble overall. But once on, it never wrinkles in the sun, it is incredibly strong and puncture resistant, never peels at the seams, lasts practically forever, after the crash can be easily repaired to look like new, and it looks more like an airplane rather than a plastic model. It’s not for everybody but you just might like it.
The picture is one I just finished this week.
