Lightweight covering of 1/8 inch G1S plywood
"Orval Fairbairn" wrote Too heavy! Doped Ceconite (or Stits) essentially last forever, too, as long as you keep the bird hangared. And -- you can get a mirror finish, if you desire. The secret is lots of thin coats of dope, sanded between coats, then polished. Yeah, I hear you, but I think you are not thinking light enough on the weight or the fiberglass cloth. I'm talking the weight of cloth that would be used for model airplanes. I recall that using that, it is barely heavier than fabric and dope. Rich Shankland's Emerald used glass, I believe. Many Falcos go with glass. I don't doubt that fabric and dope is very good. I'm just putting the info out that glass is also an option, and one that many prefer. -- Jim in NC |
