Fabric Aircraft

Fabric Aircraft

Fabric aircraft are one of our specialties, whether it is simple repairs or complete recovers and subsequent repainting in our spray booth this can all be done at the highest standard possible. We use the stitts polyfibre system 90% of the time but other systems can be used on request i.e. Randolph.

Poly-Fiber lasts over 25 years in outdoor storage, does not burn, and can be applied in high humidity and varying temperatures. Poly-Fiber comes with a choice of topcoat paints; choose a classic satin finish with Poly-Tone or a brilliant high gloss with either Aero-Thane polyurethane or Ranthane polyurethane.

  • Poly-Fiber is the only all-VINYL system on the market today. As it dries, it bonds extremely well to today’s polyester fabrics and remains flexible. 

  • Poly-Fiber does not support combustion. 

  • Poly-Fiber is one of the lightest systems available. Only eight coats are used. There are lightweight options, too. 

  • Poly-Fiber is the most repairable of all systems available today, and the repairs are as strong as the original. 

  • Poly-Fiber can be rejuvenated after years of weathering. 

  • It has over 30 years of success as the Stits Poly-Fiber system. Many original jobs done 30 years ago are still going strong. 

  • Poly-Fiber is not particularly sensitive to heat, cold, or humidity during application or throughout its service life. 

  • Poly-Fiber offers choices in fabric weights and types of top coat paints. There are 50 top coat colors in Poly-Tone and Aero-Thane. 

  • Poly-Fiber has options for every aircraft from a simple ultralight to the most sophisticated warbird.
