Ooooh, I think I'm in love. Is that an original Boeing F4B or a replica? And the red and silver Bearhawk is very classy, though I would have made the numbers silver not black. When I am actually in a position to build that VP-2 I've been dreaming about, I plan to use Oratex for the wings and tail surfaces.
Lars, since we've got you on the line, a couple of quick questions....
- Are there any pros or cons to using Oratex fabric as the final finish over a plywood structure?
- What about using Oratex over a composite structure?
- Any advantages or disadvantages to cutting the registration numbers/letters out of Oratex and just bonding them on top of the fabric like a patch?
Cheers,
Matthew
