Default REVIEW

I did the covering job today on ailerons / I had purchased some off white coverite FABRIC and striped the old covering off bottom and replaced with coverite /NO GOOD /IT DID NOT IMPROVE the
stiffness ! I removed and tryed some monocoat white I had left over and covered it with the matching color ultra coat /
A NOTICABLE IMPROVMRNT !
The two layers AND ( as Ollie stated the mono is stiffer ) DOes Help it alot
Please NOTE it is a little hard to keep bubbles out //Just work it like a solid structure . I started at top center and work across //About a inch down across the whole lenth at a time//

The fabric was tough but just would not stretch tite enough !
It also was a low temp type !

I used 14 hinges each side and used a metal gear heavy duty
servos @ 100 in/oz plus// Use good hardware or evan better// beef up wood mount and bolt through ! as i did

I DOUBT I"LL HAVE AILERON FLUTTER BUT IF I DO I"LL POST//
JOB WAS NOT BAD AT ALL!

THANKS TO EVERY ONES IMPUT !

TOTAL JOB TIME 1 1/2 HOURS TAKING MY TIME/// 1 OZ added weight
