mine was
shooting that a couple years ago on Comanches he was
rebuilding. I think they have some stuff that Dupont makes that
rivals the flexibility of Emeron (which is not too flexible and

cracks
in a few years).

People who have been successful with Imron on a fabric aircraft add a
flexitive. I noticed that the latest literature on Stits, now

Polyfiber,
declares the use of other paints on its fabric to be a violation of

the STC.
Aerothane is most likely an automotive polyurethane to which a

flexitive has
been added. As well as a whopping markup.


An STC is not applicable to an experimantal.


I can't begin to tell you how correct you are. On the other hand

reliance
on some certified aircraft standards may be helpful and produce safer
results. Steve Wittman may have been alive today had he not deviated

from
the Stits method when covering his speedster, the O&O* Special.


I recommend following the kit manufacturer's recomendations.
