Lacquer is cool, but IF you can find someone that can supply you with a quality product it will likely be as, or more expensive than a good urethane like aerothane plus aerothane is more flexible, it was designed that way from the jump... Oh, and ya paint is the first line of defense.... it...

Hey guys, talk to us about the wing skin issues please.

It never sleeps and it creeps... it can be anywhere on an airframe... pretty sure thats why my bonanza sold in 5 days to Florida guys.. we're high and dry here in my neck of the woods. Some guys use corro x and that's cool but I think it's pretty ugly seeping out of every crack and orifice the...

I play with paint.... a lot. Many guys would rather not have to mess with paint or the associated down time and cost, which is why pretty planes with sub standard mx sell. I'm pretty sure if corrosion isn't a factor folks will choose a cosmetically nice a/c and do a flying mechanical resto...

Funny story... I had been looking into a beryl partial build and talked to an awesome guy that actually has one out west here. He invited my brother and I to fly with him. The beryl is also a Piel design... similar to the emeraud (same wing...mostly). I'd decide I always wanted a Claude Piel...

Awesome thread guys! Thanks.
