Covering for repairs???... For CMP ZERO 50cc
 
Hi all

I am about 90 % done with this damn build that has been put off for many years now... on a CMP Zero 50cc. 82".

Any how I was wondering if anyone with "Covering" experience knew what I should use, as far as a covering, ... for repair.

I've never seen this type of flat/matte covering before on an RC plane. Nor am I experienced really in covering a plane at all... Im hopeing some company out there makes a matching roll of the grey and green main color I need, and more importantly this smooth flat paper feeling finish. I'm just use to buying the sticky monokote repair strips..but all glossy lol.

Here is a link to some good shots of this plane that I found off youtube...

Any help with this would be appreciated.


Thanks!

That plane looks to me like it's been fiberglassed and painted. Pretty common with planes that size. Monokote makes a flat olive drab. Not sure about the gray.

Gloss can be reduced by rubbing plastic covering with 0000 steel wool.
