The guys at Kolb did beautiful work on this. They turn out top notch aircraft
at their facility. Thanks to Bryan, Travis and the crew for keeping these designs
alive.

Very nice video. Would rolling work with other coatings as well? I've sprayed
automotive paint and the results are good but I see the benefits of not spraying.
Just curious as I don't know much about latex at this point but I like the process.

? For someone that knows how to use latex house paint. A friend bought. my Firestar
2
last year. Now it needs a patch or 2 also he would like to change the color of
the tail.
If he just rolls on latex over the poly fiber process that the plane is covered
with, will that work
Or will he need to strip the poly down to the fabric and start the latex from there?
Thanks Frank

Frank,
I've applied latex over other paints (dope and unknown products) with success.
I would recommend scrubbing the surface with a Scotchbrite pad and solvent like
Naptha or MEK to remove any wax and contaminates to prepare it for new paint.
and Tony,
I've rolled dope on a Piper Pawnee. It came out okay with lots of "orange peel"
but I did not try sanding it.

I installer a tail light of about the same size and in the same
location and have had no trouble with rudder flutter. The plane has over
150 hours of flight time.

Since it was a rainy day, spent today and tonight redoing the web page to include
the FSII mods, including how to beef up the upper cage to run not just a 503,
but a 582. Here it is:
