A friend is having an S2A restored from scratch, they are in the process of recovering it and was asking my thoughts in dope vs 2 pack. My knowledge of each is limited other than dope is easier to repair and 2 pack is pretty and shiny. I think he wants pretty and shiny.
The best I could come up with is, "have you ever seen a shiny looking Tiger Moth?"
All the mechanics out there will like dope I assume, but what about owners who have to live with it?
2nd question... His S2A is circa 1972 so would have the short gear and he's keen to retrofit long gear to it. Can you do that?
3rd question... He's already putting aluminum sides on and has had the rear spar attach points doublers installed. Anything else he should do while its being restored?
