Seaplane covering.
Like your answer. Problem is this plane has open structure on wings and back half of fuse. I will fiberglass floats and solid sections of fuse. NOW what to do with open areas ????? Cover with film, fabric or sheet balsa. Balsa would stick out and look like an after thought. So now only film and fabric left. I am leaning toward fabric as I believe it will hold up longer. I plan to cover frame work with Balsarite first and then cover frame work. I will have to fill fabric weave with primer and then paint all of plane. I know this will add a load of weight and time to build.
Question is, all that worth time and effort ?? Will it hold up to repeated water take offs and landing ?? Anything I can do to help myself out ??
