Midwest AT-6
I have a midwest AT-6 Texan that is covered in mono coat. I want to glass and paint it but I dont want to get the plane to heavy. How much weight does it add and does anyone have a midwest texan glassed and painted that could tell me how it flies? Thanks for your help. Bill

RE: Midwest AT-6
If you do decide to glass the plane, sheet those surfaces first. If possible, build new ones so that you can keep them light; adding sheeting to the old ones will add tail weight, something you really don't want to do.
There have been a number of write ups on glassing, and while it is possible to glass and paint a plane so that the finished weight is similar to Monocote, it takes some know how.
The procedures aren't something that can be spelled out in a simple post, so in spite of not liking to do it, I'll recommend doing a "Search".
Good luck,
