bla bla,

Covering with lithplate panels sounds like an interesting technique! Does the metal covering create any issues with radio interference? How are the lithoplate panels attached to the airframe? Can the aluminum be easily painted or does it require a special primer?

Thanks for any info!

FWIW, I've worked with FliteMetal and love the stuff. Sometimes I'll do hatches out of ordinary duct tape because it's thicker and will show up better, but FM is much easier to work with. I haven't attempted covering a whole plane with either, so I can't comment on that part. I have, however, covered some pretty tough complex curves, both cncave and convex with FM and been very satisfied with the results.
