I'm currently building a Northstar kit. I saw around here somewhere, a guy mounted the fuel tank over the CG and put a mini servo in the nacell for the thottle. I thought this seems like a good idea so i've decided to construct mine this way also. Building it this way should eliminate some of the wieght needed in the nose. The project is nearing completion and it is time to think about covering. Being a flying boat, I don't think Monokote is goana cut it and i do want to keep the wieght down. What is the best choice for covering such an animal? There are soooo many epoxies, resins, coverinngs and dope out there and I'm looking for light and easy to work with.

Thanks All

I covered mine with 21st Century Fabric for the extra strength I wanted. It worked just fine!

Is 21st Century Fabric anything like Sig Coverall? I'm not familiar with that covering and had not considered it. A few more evenings and it should be ready for finishing. I'll see if i can't get a couple decent pics from my very crappy webcam.
