Covering.. the magic and the frustration...
Have been building RC kits since early 70's. First was silk and dope... Then Coverite, then Monokote..
A while back I inherited a Sig 1/4 scale clipped wing cub. Been flying it as it was... Not sure of the covering that was painted, but age hasn't been friendly to the appearance. It's still airworthy, but ugly..
Plan is to strip it, freshen up anything that needs it, then recover it a proper color scheme (CUB YELLOW or Hazel Sig's light blue and white. Shiny Monokote won't do it....
Thinking of a pre-colored fabric type covering.
Looking for a recommendation with do's and don'ts.

Thanks for any help. Got2retire AMA83238
