Hey, I have stripped down my Hanger 9 Extra 260 to make it lighter by adding holes in the airframe where it permits and replacing balsa supports with carbon fiber rods. Currently I purchased a fiber glass fabric from hanger , and am planning to cover my elevator stabs first to see how it works before i try it on the entire thing.

I will post pictures of this rebuild thread and keep you guys updated on my progress.. Since this is my first time doing this to an airframe all help is GREATLY APPRECIATED. It would really help speed along the process and help me along with others on this topic...

If you are talking about traditional fiberglass cloth, you can not glass open bay structures, only fully sheeted surfaces.
