I initiated the covering process of my Model IV  yesterday using the Stewart System.  The only covering experience that I  have occurred during a two hour orientation session during Oshkosh last  year.  The Stewart system is amazingly straight forward and applies as  advertised.  I completed the horizontal stabilizer through taping as my  first step.  I'm really impressed with Stewart's very straight forward and  common sense application process.  The associated DVDs also prove very  helpful; "see one-do one...!"

It is great stuff to work with. I have covered with  it for the last 5-6 yrs and will NEVER use anything else.   Larry  Huntley 4-1200 Soob

I'll chime with an enthusiastic approval also. Easy  to learn, easy to use. Priced right and unbeatable support from Stewarts  themselves.

It works very well for repairs and you can use it over any other process, 

even on certified aircraft. (What did you break? )   (G)  Larry

The hardest part would be blending in the paint. the method is to sand 

around the hole, glue on a patch and shrink the area over the hole. then 

apply uv/fill and top coats.

Depending on where the patch is one can often paint an entire panel to match 

paint better. I have painted the side of a fuselage from the trim stripe 

down to the bottom longeron to cover a repair in the side of the fuselage. 

Ekopoly ,does blend in to itself fairly well with the correct procedure and 

it can be buffed,unlike some aircraft paints. Talk to Dan Stewart 509 679 

8763. You will find him very helpful. Larry Huntley

I'm looking at doing a recover of my model IV-1200 and was just wondering for future repairs.  I know how it works with the Poly Fiber system, but I didn't think latex would bite into itself on a repair...



I'm really intrigued by the Stewarts system and would like to give it a try.

I have a 4-1200 also on which I used Cub Yellow PolyTone. Some kind of bug 

left green spots all over it that went right down to the fabric. I repainted 

w/ Aerothane and a year later it looked the same. After dinging up the 

fuselage in an "unscheduled landing" I recovered w/ Stewart's Cub Yellow and 

put it in the same environment and it is still clean.

  Dan can tell you how to make repairs and he will be very happy to talk to 

you. Tell him I sent you.     Larry Huntley
