FedEx delivered my Ortexs covering materials late this afternoon (Friday, 6 September 2023).

I originally had some doubts about the Sky Blue as the 2" square sample that I had appeared to be very nearly just off-white. However, Janina at Better Aircraft Fabric in Anchorage assured me that the blue was much more vibrant and she proved to be right.

Also, the Fokker Red is a very close match to my PPG urethane painted cowling.

I've been working on understanding the ignition wiring and I believe I have it worked out. I hope to finish the re-install over the weekend, keeping my fingers crossed for 1st a spark then a startup.

Overall very pleased.

Super good news on both counts. Great to hear the Oratex is pretty much exactly what you wanted, and Janina's information was spot on. Coming forward to hearing about your first start!

The colors both look good, if the photo is any kind of fair representation. Looking forward to hearing of a successful engine start.

After the I take it the fun of covering begins?
