Hi,
I'm looking for someone in the Surrey (Gatwick) area who know's about recovering control surfaces with ceconite who would be willing to give me a crash course and some help.
I have alierons, elevator and rudder to do from a Nanchang CJ6.
PM please
Best Regards and TIA
Mart

Ceconite
I can recommend the book "Ceconite", which you can buy from LAS Aerospace Ltd., or go on the covering course run by "Skycraft" at Spalding. (Very informative and enjoyable day's course.)
Noel.

I too would be interested in observing fabric covering in action in the south UK. I am near to Reading in Berkshire.
I will, however, be taking an all metal rudder to the Foxbat dealer for a lesson in fabric covering, sometime in March/April. From what he has told me so far, it is a two day job as the glue is left to set overnight before further work takes place. I don't know which fabric system is approved for the Foxbat but I understand that it is ironed to shrink it taut before the weave is filled with non shrinking dope. I can ask if he is prepared to let anyone spectate during my lesson.
