Default Sport airplane needs a new skin





I got this airplane from a ( Delta pilot ) guy that was cleaning his storage, a friend left this sport plane in his storage and never picked it up, he sold it to me for $20, complete with a FM futaba receiver, Magnun 46 pro, servos and all, the only problem was the skin, too dry and old, some of the plastic film was lifting, I got it around 2 years ago and till now I found a way to remove the Monokote off the wood using a blade to scrape the color off the wood, so far so good.

It is build from a kit, I don't have a clue what to call it, whoever build it did a nice job, so I think it deserves to fly again.

Most likely I will get fly it a dozen of times or so then I'll sell it to a club member that may really want it for cheap ( lucky dog ) I did that with a 30 years old unfinish Kavalier, the club member that boughtit from me is very happy with it, loves the way it flys with the 40 FP I put in it.

I was thinking to cover it with Ultrakote Yellow and black, like my Gee Bee.
