I need opinion/guidance. I am looking at a nesmith cougar project that needs recovering. The wings are ply covered with fabric over that. I know on the w10 tailwinds, fiberglass was used over the wing skin ply. I like the idea of glassing the wings, instead of fabric. But, other than some pictures, I dont know quite what is involved or if it is still a good idea. I didnt see any specific earlier posts on this subject when I looked. I am not married to anything yet, just looking for pros/cons and some guidance on the subject.
