Stewart Systems Covering - Longterm Evaluation

[TGio]

Greetings all,
After reading the threads on the Stewart Systems, I was wondering what the long term opinions of those that have used the system. The last posts were from 2008.
Thanks,
Thomas

I can't give you an evaluation, but there's an interesting photo on page 42 of the current Kitplane magazine (Feb 2010), in an article about the Just Aircraft "Highlander". It's a picture of what appears to be a quickbuild fuselage in the factory ready for shipment. You can tell from the blue glue lines that it's covered with Stewart Systems.

I wonder if that means Just Aircraft is the first manufacturer to switch to Stewarts.

It's most likely Airtec not Stewart unless it is a builders photo.

I looked into the Air-Tech System. Interesting system. Check out this link for more information. http://airtechcoatings.com/documents/Fabric%20Covering%20for%20Dummies.pdf
