Oratex Quantities for a Patrol?

[paulodonnell]

Hi all, sorry if this has been covered before (and pardon the pun!) but if so it eludes me! My Patrol QB kit is on the high seas to Ireland as I write ... I've covered a bi-plane before with trad Ceconite etc but have to confess the Oratex looks tempting for the Patrol. Obviously early days yet but I happen to be travelling shortly to Aero Expo in Germany and might be able to carry what I need home with me or if not get it on order afterwards. Anyone know how many yards / Sq meters and glue quantities?

The Oratex distributor in the USA is Lars Gleitsman who lives in Anchorage. I bet if you contacted Lars or his team they could help you for sure. Mark

Here is a quote for a Bearhawk Patrol from an industry partner. Its got the fabric and the ancillary items you might consider getting. The glue might have a shelf life, I'm thinking maybe a 1 year shelf life.

Thanks, that's great - I'm amazed how pricey fabric etc has got since I last used it! Imagine if you had the main wings to do also - that would be x 3!
