Fabric Covering

[acpilot]

Does anyone know anything about razorback covering? I know the basics...it's "fiberglass" and it won't shrink in heat, but what about quality and length of life? Would you buy a plane with it? Would you cover a plane with it?

Thanks.

I checked into it when I recovered my Pitts. I decided to go with a newer (I think) product. I used the poly fiber process and I was pleased with the result. Word of caution though, if you use aerothane, buy a fresh air breathing system.
I do remember Razorback being a selling point on spray planes years ago, so that could be a good testament for it.
