Default Need help covering this 80cc Illusion Biplane

Looking for a pro in Ohio to help me cover this plane. I will pay all materials and a fair price for labor. I am open to suggestion on covering substrate. This plane is built too well to mess up the covering job. I live at Indian Lake and can bring the plane to you. I have several planes that I may consider trading as payment as well.

That really is a great looking plane. I live too far away to be of any help but the moment I saw it I had that wish I could feeling. Did you ever think of sheeting the rest of the plane and glassing and painting?? It really is a sweet looking plane!!!

Have you checked out my covering articles? They may be a great help.

The first article goes over the basics:

The second is more advanced with videos (But read the basics first)
