Anyone really doing this? What are the results on your plane? Any
A&Ps seen results from outside fabric?

I've had my Maule outside since I bought it in 1995. Since Maule did not paint
aircraft properly back then, it really isn't a fair test case. I've had to repair one
crack in the fabric caused by a run in the paint and repair a popped tape in the
fabric caused by the fact that Maule used enamel for the finish coats on top of the
silver layer.

Ceconite and Polyfiber (which are the same fabric but different application methods)
both last pretty much forever outside.
