View Full Version : How do you determine remaining life of Ceconite covering?

I'd like to buy a Ceconite covered a/c. The covering was applied 20
years ago. How do you determine how much life is left in the fabric?

I know it's highly variable with factors like 'where was it stored?'
and 'can I see light thru the fuselage?', just hoping for more

There is no reliable way to determine the remaining life.
