I have a 13 year old Goldberg Super Chipmunk that flies like a dream. No kidding, the best plain I ever owned. When I originally built the kit in 1990 I made the mistake of using Coverite's new Permagloss covering. The stuff didn't stick good to it self so a Coverite Rep at a nearby trade show even gave me a free can of Balserite out of sympathy! I also wound up super gluing allot of the seams shut so they would stay together through a whole flying session. Though gluing the seams together worked, at this point they're an eyesore if you look at them too long; yuck! It needs to be refinished and I would rather not use an iron on covering again. I think this plane deserves paint this time. Can anyone tell me if it's practical to try to put a paint finish over what used to be an Iron-On finish? I don't think the Balserite is going to be easy to paint over. Maybe I should try to use Micafilm or some other "better" covering and then paint over that.
Any suggestions?
