Fiberglass 101:
Yes, there is plenty of fiberglass work awaiting you with the finishing kit of your "all metal" RV. Cowling, wheel pants, gear leg fairings, canopy fairings, tail fairing, etc... This tape shows how to make the molds and forms and achieve a professional looking piece by a well known expert using parts of a Van's RV-4 kitplane aircraft as an example. While this video does not excel for its Oscar winning performances, the amount of good information presented still makes it our favorite for the subject and well worth the money.
