Depending on where you live EAA may have a workshop in your area from
time
to time on the subject and they also do those workshops at Oshkosh. I
think
it costs a little north of $200, but it is well worth it.


Thanks Mike, but thats not why I'm looking for it. I want to see and
feel
the texture and the underside, the weight and flexibility. I want to
study
an already used piece.

If that's the case, then you should still check with your local EAA chapter.
There will almost certainly be one or more members with some left over
material.


I have, It seems that nobody is recovering these days.

that is actually a common issue with Stits (polyfiber)
when I bought the tailwind I thought maybe 5 years and it would need
replacing.
9 years on I can discern no deterioration.
