Hi Chuck,
Too early to tell just yet. The Solartex does apply faster and easier. I will have to wait until I get the rib stitching,tapes and paint completed before making that determination. I can tell you I would not be happy with the Solartex as applied, it is just too transparent. You really notice it on sheeted surfaces and you see all the grain of the wood and also the differences in the color of the wood. Not very appealing on a 1/3 scale plane. I do believe I can apply Koverall cheaper than the Solartex. The Solartex is going to run $150 to cover this plane + $20 for paint. I could cover with Koverall for less than $100.
I am sure the finished results with the Solartex will be nice.
Later!!
Anthony
