Finishing my Mongoose 2

The covering is Polycover from Hobby Lobby. The color is fluorescent yellow. But it looks like lime green to me. The covering is ironed over the balsa wing structure. No dopes or glues either under or over the covering. Polycover only weighs half as much as Monkeycoat. And it is very strong because it contains random polyester fibers. Great stuff.
The fuselage has one coat of water based polyurethane, one coat of Krylon water based primer, and two coats of Rustoleum (sand color).
A quick easy finish. And it looks O.K. for a finish on a sport plane if you ask me.
