I did not know there was a grain to the covering, good to know thanks Retransit. Great video too, I think I watched another vid of the same plane flying, nice paint!

The covering will shrink more short side to short side. With a fabric such as Solartex, you can see the grain because of the weave.

Another little hint about covering. So you don't forget what color you have : take the little tab showing the color off the roll and slip it inside the tube on one end. That way as long as you have the tube you will know what to order next time.

Another note : when I'm covering I always keep a dryer sheet handy to clean my iron, especially if I'm doing different colors . ENJOY !!! RED

Good tips Red, I wish the person who had the purple before me did that, at first I hated the color, only got used to patch the beaters (my buddy bought 2 trainers at a yard sale the ARF covering shatters just by looking at it, now I think I may cover on of my Ultra Sports with it(if I can figure out what color it is, just have to take some to my LHS Isuppose)
