Some advice please?
As my Clipped Wing has to be recovered due to poor quallity manufacturing, I am considering using Oratex, which is an iron on fabric, not a plastic. I am only using a OS FS 120.... will the cover add much more weight and if so, will the 120 be under powered?
I'm not familiar with Oratex, but I did a Cub a couple of years ago (non ARF) and used Sig Koverall, and Nitrate/Butyrate dope for a really nice finish. It finished pretty light too, but not everyone has the experience to do this stuff, nor the shop space required to do it. You need some good ventilation to squirt the dope too.
