Default 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...
