BigGrin Hi All
I mentioned a while back it was my intention to use nylon as a covering for the flying surfaces of the zero to try and replicate the fabric covering these surfaces had.

Items needed are as follows

Cellulose dope
Cellulose thinners
50 % Dope/Thinners mix
Nylon
Brushes
Scissors
Good sharp blade

Firstly lets talk nylon ,in theory any old nylon will do but I still think that nylon with a weight of around 2oz per square yard is about right for our needs. Ripmax used to supply his type of nylon but not any more so now its Kite shops that you can get it from there are several online that will supply 1 metre square pieces.
The application will be in the next part
Regards
Andy
