About a year ago I purchase my first scale sailplane from a fellow Seattle Area Soaring Society member. Now that I live 15 minutes from Point of the Mountain, Utah I need to get this thing slope-ready ASAP. Not that I didn’t have a good time last Saturday flying my Genie LT/S in 35mph winds, but I’m anxious to build a slope fleet.
The plane is a 2 meter DG800s by Thermo Fluegel in Germany. That being said, one of the remaining things I need to do is cover the wings. They are white foam with an obeche skin (about 1/16" thick). I would prefer one of the plastic coverings (Monocoat, etc.) but I’m afraid that I’ll melt the foam with the iron or the heat gun. It needs to look nice from maybe 20 feet away ☺ Any suggestions?
