  • Time-lapse video of how I covered a SuperSTOL fuselage with the Poly-fiber covering system. This piece was covered using medium weight fabric and light weight pinked edge finishing tapes.
    Videos showing the covering of other SuperSTOL pieces can be found on my channel!

    I have been involved in covering several aircraft the first one in 1966 and I'll be the first to say it is good to see the skills the one needs to have to cover an aircraft is alive and well!! God Bless!!

    I can see this is not her first cover job. Very nicely done young lady!!!

    Most amazingly: she did it without gloves! She is able to work so precise and without spilling the epoxy around or on her hands!

    I’ve watched a few of your videos. They all seem to be time lapse. It would be good to hear you explain the process.

    This very hard working young lady must have done this several times before. It really looks like shes a pro and very pleasing to see such a young person taking such pride and working so hard at a task. Well done!! Be proud as well you should be!

    What could be more satisfying than a start to finish complete process of a detail necessary piece of work on you tube!
    And being a dad of 3 grown women I certainly enjoy that she is so skilled. Great video! 👍

    Who on earth could dislike this. I watched it twice for the technical content. Hopefully the young lady's excellent craft skills and evident work ethic bring in a steady flow of work and generate a good living. Who would watch rubbish (UK) TV when TH-cam brings us stuff like this?

    Wonderful to watch young people doing good work. We hear far too much negative, so the good things help us to know the world is better than the news would have it.
    That being said, I, like "eyeeye" wrote, keep the fresh air around you. That dope is a killer to our liver, lungs and other parts.
    Fly safely! Oh, by the way, nice looking airplane!

    Well done - I'm gonna show this to my 5 year old son who discovered planes as his new favourite video addiction. He loves to make planes from any material but currently mostly legos, duplos and magnetic bricks. He'll be blown away watching you make a plane. Awesome! Thanks for sharing and great job! Cheers! JM

    What a professional covering expert! I've done my old Kitfox, and a friends J3/Pa11, and helped others with a Champ, and a friend who finished Christen Eagles and other special projects after I retired from McDonald Douglas as a Senior Systems Analyst(software Engineer!). None of my work looked as good as yours! You rank right up there with the Gal at Culver Props who makes custom wood propeller blades.
