martin davey Posted June 8, 2021 Author Share Posted June 8, 2021 Started to cover some of the flying surfaces, I'm using Diacov 1000 for this, which is a very fine weave polyester. Never used it before but the indications so far are positive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
