Painting wings and stabs on pattern plane
Some friends and I are about to buy a few 90 sized pattern planes and the plane comes with a fiberglass fuse and foam core wings. So far it seems that most folks paint the fuse and cover the wings. Has anybody tried glassing and painting the wings? It seems to me that if you glassed with poly and since you are only glassing half the plane that you could it without a big weight penalty. Is this doable or is the weight gain too much?
