If you want to try some = clear=20 material, I'd check out the new stuff offered on page 131 in the current = Aircraft Spruce catalog (with Nemisis on the cover) . That only = comes in=20 16" X 30" pieces though. That might be large enough for a 360 or = Legacy,=20 but I don't think it would be adequate for my ES.

At one point, I had to = remove my first=20 piece to do some touch up work on the clearcoat on my wing. The = adhesive=20 had to be removed with some solvent, but it all came off.
