covering

I will be leaving my 1-34 outside. Does anyone know what is the best
material to use to cover the wings and fuselage?

Uh, the big advantage of a metal glider is that you don't really need to
cover it (of course, if there is a hail problem, you really need a
hangar or some sort of rigid roof structure). Just wash and wax it once
in a while, like a car. The only real issue is a proper canopy cover,
the best solution seems to be a rigid fiberglass cover that rests on the
canopy frame, and doesn't touch the canopy at all...

A good airplane wax. That's the beauty of the metal glider :-)

step 1- cover it with insurance
step 2 - get someone to steal it
step 3- buy something that glides with the insurance money

Not a silly question really. The rudder is fabric and
besides a canopy cover, a cover on the vertical fin
and rudder might be nice. I have always wanted one,
so if you have one made I would like one too.
