that looks like fabric, but is iron on like monocote, and comes in Cub yellow. I remeber seeing something like this about 10 years ago, is it still made? Who is the manufacturer?



TIA,
Ryan

Get any of the ***tex, i.e. Solartex from Balsa USA, Worldtex, Colortex, etc.; all the same manufacturer. Excellent covering and goes on easier than the films, also stronger. Their big dissadvantage is that they pick up dirt real easy and are hard to clean unless you put a clearcoat over them.

21st Century Fabric!
Looks like "real" airplane fabric that has been painted, and dosen't pick up dirt like the "tex" fabric.
Goes on like a dream.
