Default RE: 1/4 scale cub covering


ORIGINAL: fred985

ceconite is a "shrinking" covering. it is usualy shrunk using a heat-gun. buterate dope finishes the shrink. i use it on all my models and recovered my full size stearman and a clip-wing cub with it. very few use cotton or linen any more.
Yes fred985 but I do not heat shrink it on my models due to the relative weakness of the balsa structures.

I just let the butyrate dope do its job and it thightens real well for years to come.
