A Falco's wing

The last time I was at Oshkosh I talked to several Falco builders. Some
covered their plywood with dacron and some with fiberglass. The ones
covered in fiberglass were having some cracking problems (around the
tail). There will be a Falco fly-in at Chino Airport in Southern
California on Sep 22 with 13 to 15 Falco in attendance.

The certified Bellanca Viking had mahogany plywood wing surfaces, covered
with regular dacron fabric and dope.

Mine was then sanded and finished in Imron, was absolutely mirror-like.

Construction must have been very similar to Falco.

Can anyone tell me what covering is used on a Falco?
I'm pretty sure it's plywood, but is it 100% plywood?
Anyone know how thick? Also, is there anything over the plywood like
dacron or fiberglass?

You may cover the wing with fiberglas, it's not realy heavier, bur the
finnish is nicer.
