Your fuselage videos 1 and 2 have been a big help for this first-timer to understand the process. I think I learned enough to go ahead and give my scratch built ultralight project a Stewart Systems wrap. Much appreciated. A.H.
Back when I was in HS in the late sixty's,one winter I spent every available minute helping a friend of my dads cover a Cub, we worked in an old barn, had a wood stove,hot dogs and beans, We started spraying on the dope and I remember feeling funny but it didn't dawn on me why until I saw the black lab walk around very unsteadily finally gave up his attempt of where he was going and just plopped down. times were different in those days, The Stewartsystem is a real wonder! It would have been nice to have such a system back then, but it probably wouldn't have been as much fun. Happy Landings
Awesome videos, thanks for posting these. It's cool how much of the full scale covering process carries over to model airplanes. Do you have a link to any pictures or video of the finished plane? I'd love to see how it turned out.
WOW AWESOME JOB!! CAN U TELL ME HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST TO COVER THE MAIN WING ON A LEAGLE EAGLE? A GOOD ESAMATED PRICE WOULD BE FINE, BUT I WANT THE CRAFTSMANSHIP THAT U PUT INTO THIS. THANKS

I'm sure glad it's helping! Let us know if you have any questions. We can help with quantity estimates too if you need that.

Well done, your DVD is indeed a very good learning tool. After seeing that I have no reservations about doing this job myself. Regards Nick Carter

When you are finished covering , are you going to paint the fabric? Very interesting video> Thanks
+Bobby John yes they get Painted,if you fast forward to 39-40 min you can see one he painted
do you need an A&P license to cover an aircraft?
Can I do this process on a J3 Cub, Fuselage ?
Yes, nearly every fabric covered aircraft is on our STC.
Tell me what is the glue
EkoBond.
Very informative. But is it 1 or 2" overlap
+Super Stol
The overlap is 3" on a leading edge, 2" on a trailing edge, and 1" everywhere else.
Thanks!
