This is truly amazing !!

In the ARAVA airshow in Israel this year we had the swiss aerobatic team with:
1. 90% 1-800 pitts - 1000CC engine.
2. 70% Shrike commander - TWO 1000CC engines !
3. 70% Raven - 1000CC engine.

Truly a site to behold when one of these takes to the air !

How many rolls of covering did that take. I can't even see any seams in the covering job.

I covered the fuse and tail feathers in Stits polydope and Dacron cloth, the entire aircraft is primed with Dupont 1120 S uro fill primer, and top-coated with Dupont croma systems base coat clearcoat, so there are no seams.

I feel honored to have actually touched this airplane!! It was after an IMAC contest at Kingsbury, TX. All of the participants lined up in front of the wing as I held the tail up!! Very impressive.
