John C,
Do other systems you have looked at have a way around the silver?

Paul,
Below is a description of the process and the gentleman's thoughts on the
covering systems. I'm not trying to steer anyone one way or the other, but
if I have to spend a few more bucks to save a lot of time in the covering
process, I think that is good trade off. The Slingshot mentioned was covered
with the poly fiber process and was a Oshkosh grand champion. I'm sure he
won many other awards with it too so he can make a good comparison between
the two systems.
I also am attaching a couple of pictures that he sent me of the Decathlon
completed with the Airtech system.
Another thing that is a problem here in the south is the humidity.
Supposedly the Airtech system is fairly immune to blushing etc. so you don't
have to add special agents to the paint to reduce blushing.
Take care,
John Cooley

[I've covered numerous planes since the SlingShot and have tried different
processes. The one I've chosen for now is the Airtech System. You cover the
structure same as stits but you don't brush on the poly brush. You simply
spray on two coats of their primer, let set overnight and sand, spray one
more coat, let set for a couple of days then spray your color. Much less
steps than stits with as good or better results. Only downside is it's a
little more expensive but you trade time for money. My Decathlon came out
beautiful, I flew it to Evergreen as soon as I finished it to get it judged
but there was no class to enter it in. Contemporary was the newest class and
it only went to 1967 year model. Mine was a 1975 model. All the judges were
overwhelmed so they gave me an award anyway, It was called a "Chick Torbett
Workmanship Award" which was supposed to come out of the classes judged. I
think they ruffled a few feathers but all agreed to give me the award. I was
pretty proud after all that work. I seen John H. down there but Mrs P'fer
was down in the tail. He seem pretty impressed with my bird. Go to
Airtechcoatings.com and read about it. We've done several Stearman's with it
and had good results.]

I'm extremely pleased to read about a Chick Torbett award. Chick
was meticulous building his Challenger, and always generous with his time
and advice. I was sorry to lose such a friend to cancer in '04. I still
keep his page up on the FlyChallenger site:
