FliteskinTM sheeting
FliteskinTM is a fiberglass sheet with a built
in smooth finish. It combines sheeting, glassing and finishing in 1
product, saving countless weeks of sanding and priming work. It is the closest
representation of the real sheet metal finish of the full size aircraft without
the extra weight. See the Applications section for
details.
Features:
-
Flexible to go around curves
-
Superb tensile & compression strength characteristics.
- Can be glued directly to open frame
structures or foam cores.
- Fuel proof and weather proof.
- Can be primed and painted right away
or used bare.
- Eliminates exposure to epoxy resin
for those who are allergic.
- It allows thin, very strong trailing
edges that don't chip or dent.
-
See through skin allows precision cuts
over plans, ribs and formers.

- .010" (.254mm) thick $49.50
- .010" (.254mm) thick. 36"x 24" (91cmx 60cm) (Half sheet). $25.50

The .007 sheets
are most preferable for tail, control surfaces, lining, etc. For skinning
wings of about 80" (180cm.) span .010 works very well.
Very sharp leading edges, wing tips with compound curves should be glassed the
traditional way after the top and bottom of the wing have been skinned (see
applications page). If a metallic leading edge is desired, Aluminum tape
can be used to achieve scale looking results.
