I just started a Build on a Top Flite At-6 Texan. Stab, Fin, and half rudder and elevators done. . Has any one built one yet? if so how did you finish it with Kote or Glass or Fabric. i want to glass it, but the control surfaces are open ribbed. I am leaning towards coverite fabric on the control surfaces and then painting to match my color scheme. any pics or info would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Kevin

I glassed and painted mine. I used SIG Koverall for the control surfaces. Took alittle while to figure out how to apply right it but the results were very good. Used SIG Stix-it to attached to the frame and nitrate dope to seal the weave. Good luck.

Kevin,
what you have planned will work good. I am building a Hollywood Zero which is a AT-6 modified. I've used the idea you have on other planes I have been using coverite fabric with very good results and that is what I plan to do on this one. With the fabric, you get a close scale look also.

Thanks all, after some thinking i decided to fabric cover just the control surface and glass the rest of the plane. I will post some pics soon.
