Default RE: Fiberglassing the airplane questions.

Thanks guys,
Yes I was thinking to fiberglass to avoid hangar rash and damage while transporting 0.56oz cloth will do.
I'm reading that thread Doolittleraider added about this Envirotex lite pour on epoxy, it sounds great but the weight on the Envirotex [link=http://www.eti-usa.com/consum/envtex/envlite.htm]website[/link] they say 4 oz per square foot? I have alot of footage to cover.

* When you say Resin you mean the epoxy mixture not only the liquid in the resin part of the epoxy?

* When you say thin you mean to thin it with alcohol about 25% and not some other way?

Bigtim, I'm not building it yet just calculating in my head what's involved, that P-47 is bugging me for a long time now, I'm planning power it with OS 91 FX because this is what I have available and I'm thinking about these [link=http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=HAN242011]mechanical retracts[/link] when they will be available but I'm not sure about that yet.

Thanks again
Alex
