Speaking of the GP Super Stearman, Do you guys have your GP ARF coverings come through as wrinkly as mine do? I literally could not get the Century 21 iron turned up hot enough to stretch them out. I just finished recovering some aileron panels. What a hassle, having to recover even a part of a new ARF. It'll be a real beauty, but I'm sure you know what I mean.

The covering on my GP Giant Super Sportster was also badly wrinkled. If I ever finish my Bell Hop, I am going to strip all the covering from the GSS and cover it with fabric and paint. I am tired of fighting the wirikle battle with the plastic film coverings. I covered my Senorita with fabric over 20 years ago and it is tight as a drum.

I just got rid of an Eagle II that was over 15 years old and the monocote on it was like new, it never did develop wrinkles even though I stored it in the top of my garage for all those years. The new plastic coverings just don't hold up under the Texas heat.
