Status: offline 		Need some ideas on what others have used for covering the control surfaces of the p-40. I'm considering two options at present,...century fabric or stits. In trying to keep the cost down I'm swinging more towards the century route as I wouldn't have to buy fabric and dope, but I want to hear what ideas you geniuses have!!! The rest of the airplane will be glassed and painted.
