Thomas Gooderham Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 HI, Are there any online resources that provide a really good step by step how to guide for covering planes using 1) Nylon 2) Tissue. Why do I ask? Having done a couple of planes using stuff like Solartex/Lighttex type covering I do have one plane that is fairly light weight which came with tissue (Peter Rake 36inch SE5a), and also have a couple of other planes to build and was thinking I should have a crack at Nylon covering. a how to guide would be good. Thanks Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
