I do it all the time and doing one right now, That purple Voodoo/P51 is turning into a Dago Red. Go check out "My Models". Most of my fleet has been done over, I'll fly them for a season or two, then gut it to check things out and recover in a different scheme.

OK,
I have a H9 super stick on which I have done some fuselage repair. Looks like it too.
The wing is suffering from 'hangar rash', more like 'truck-rash', there are some small tears in the covering and it generally looks bad.
Also, it's been quite warm here and the covering seems to be loose in the heat (85-90 degrees). I have tried an iron and a heat-gun, but the covering will not tighten-up. What kind of covering is on this thing anyway?
I was thinking I could remove the old covering and re-cover the wing. Is this advisable with an ARF? (It has plastic wing tips and there is tape holding them on etc...). Should I just keep flying it the way it is? It flies fine, just a bit worn. I just don't like the loose covering....looks like it's been 'deflated'.
Regards,
Mark
