Before I bought it, my S-1S had the wings redone to a really nice standard, but the original fuselage fabric was rough.

After two seasons of using tape to cover bear spots, it has been recommended that I consider recovering it this winter.

The wings are polyfiber and ranthane, and I am thinking that may be the best way to go.

Any idea how much fabric to cover the fuselage from the cockpit back and tail feathers?
