uncertified Cenconite on PT wood.

Post by hotfoot49 »

'I got the information about the uncertified Cenconite fabric out of
the Cenconite Aircraft Covering Process Procedure Manual 101. It's on
page 3. Here is what they say. Cenconite Uncertified Light is not
approved for certified aircraft except as cover over plywood skins.
It is generally used on uncertified ultralights and has no PMA
identifying stamps.

I would still do some double checking before I went ahead but I
imagine that it is OK for this purpose because it isn't taking any
load. The plywood does that.

'"Ceconite Uncertified Light is not approved for

skins."

I believe that this is an incorrect and misleading
statement. As I posted earlier, FAA approval must be
given for non-certificated products.

Or, as they say in the military, "Don't ask, don't
tell". You didn't hear that from me!

PS: Did you know that unbleached muslin fabric also
works well? Treat as you would if you were using
cotton.
