Polyurethane covering?????
I have a nosen 108" ws. Citibria. It is framed and ready to be covered. I am now wandering what size fiberglass cloth I need to apply for use with the Minwax polycrylic finish. Secondly, I see it will be easy to apply the cloth over the balsa sheeted area but what about over the wing ribs and other open areas where there are only ribs & spars? I guess what I am getting at is how do I get the cloth to stretch tight enough that there will not be any sags or loose places in the material. I have always used monokote in the past but this time it would be very expensive to cover a plane this size in monokote. I haven't had good experiences with monokote either. I heard about the polycrylic method and thought I would like to try it on this plane. I would really appreciate any help I could get with this.
Thanks
