My other ride is a C-130J

By chance were there any T33s (CT133s) at Reno this year?

Wow, I just heard about the T6 crash. It happened on the cool down after the last National Championship race that will ever be flown at Reno. Terrible. Just an awful tragedy.

 I remember stories of people buying one of those and the gasoline in the tanks was worth more than the cost of the aircraft.

 Bought a hangar. On my five step plan this was step three or four. But the opportunity came up. Will go back and start on step one this winter. |

This is the 2nd time I've had the privilege to work with it. It's a truly amazing material, it has its issues though. Although it's incredibly tough once it's installed it's prone to damage if folded and pulled against creases. It has a tendency to be easily marred and smudged. You can not use acetone to clean it so if you have a soiled section if you can't get it clean with pure isopropyl or the supplied cleaner you're hosed. Do not get excess glue anywhere you don't want it without immediate clean up. Using a rubber grinding wheel cleaner as an eraser works on uncured, dried adhesive works but can lift paint off of the fabric, so fastidiousness pays dividends. what I'm most impressed with is the way it takes paint. The stock finish is ok if you get it installed perfectly, and I mean perfectly, it's somewhat reminiscent of poly tone. The overlaps and tape edges are in my opinion eye sores and tend to collect and show dirt, almost a fabric panel line... not a fan, I don't care for it's translucency either. My solution is aero thane. It's my favorite paint for the money. 1 to 1.5 coats then a thorough wet sand with 400 then 600 then a single top coat of you're aerothane color. Otex is lighter than any other system... by a good margin, so what amounts to 1.5 coats of aero thane doesn't add much and still keeps it light and kills the see through look and the ugly dirt magnet edges. Lighter oratex colors show debris and dirt when it's bright. The payoff.... there isn't a covering system out there that looks as good as properly painted oratex. This set of wings will get a light coat of insignia white. I have a pa12 in line for a full oratex cover and paint in cub yellow... this stuff looks like a brand new shiney jelly belly with aero thane on it!
