Well I'm down to finishing the ceiling in my new hanger turned workshop. This is where next winter my Imron painted crate is going to start the recover process. I plan on using PolyFiber and Aerothane. I agree with the others that it is a good idea to open the plane up and look for the unexpected. Like JB I plan to FLY this year =Osh(Poberville), Lee Bottom, maybe Blakesburg again. My plane was last done by Weber, paint fabric and annuals for the previous owner. Sorry but I am not impressed with what I found in that crate since I have owned it, so the last thing I want to do is recover and paint it to it's original look circa 1958 Northern Aircraft. I've done the engine, Hydraulics, Avionics, Instruments , Interior and the electrical system. now the last thing is recover and paint. I know lots of money but like I'm in love with that old crate and it's mine and I want it my way! Lynn N9818B :shock:
