Hey guys,
I will be buying a S2B soon and had a fabric question. I know they used cotton on some of the S2B's. I have found several beautiful planes between 86 and 91 models. Most of these planes still have the origional fabric and almost every one has had the top wing recovered. Some say fabric will last forever if taken care of. Some say max life is 20 years??? I know my Decathlon was a 74 with origional fabric and my Skybolt was a 78 with origional fabric on the fuse with no issues. Can one of you fabric experts give some input? I do not want to be recovering a airplane.
