I tried to find out what they used too but got the same comments. Some say Oracover other say Cover rite, no one really knows for sure.[sm=72_72.gif]
You’ll have to match it as best you can but there is a problem with that too. I tried different coverings but as we all know they heat up at different temperatures making it difficult to use. So that didn’t work at least not for me.
I also tried using 3 inch wide trim tape, it works but it’s hard to match the color.
In the end I just use clear tape and lived with it.[]
Try calling Hobby People maybe they have a wizard there who knows…here is their number 1-800-854-8471
What I have learned over the years is to save pieces that I cut away when I build, just in case I get a tear.
Oh just had an idea [sm=idea.gif]if you want to try it. I've done this with other planes. If the tear isn’t too large cut a piece from the bottom and patch it with another covering or cut a piece from the wing, were it mounts to the fus. Either way no one will know.
Good Luck
