There may be a flex agent that you could add though. If you have a NAPA nearby they may be able to help you out. They used to have a flex agent you could add for painting things like vinyl car seats and urethane bumpers. Might be worth looking into. It's hard to go wrong with "1 Shot". You probably know it's a sign painter's paint. It works great on dope. Flexible and adheres really well. I have a dealer near me, if there is some way I might be able to help out with that let me know. A really cool thing is that it comes off with "Easy Off" oven cleaner without harming the dope, just in case there is a mistake.

Somebody sprinkled pixie dust on 41CC. Ever since the annual on it =2C I haven't flown anywhere that could be considered a cross-country by an y means=2C until today. Three legs=2C each maybe 25 mi.=2C but it was enou gh to show me that the airplane is a lot more stable now. During the annua l=2C I completely re-rigged the tail surfaces and wings in order to install proper washers and hardware on all the bolts and clevis pins=2C and the di fference is amazing. It was bumpy=2C gusty=2C and windy today but at 2000' at cruise=2C the airplane was almost hands-off. It was a great flight and I made some pretty good landings.
