Interior Covering With Oratex

In this video we show covering the interior of our Bearhawk Model Five with Oratex. We liked the idea of using something light, easy to install, easy to repair, and tough, to withstand years of abuse in the cargo area. We also thought it was a good opportunity to get more familiar with Oratex before deciding what to use on the exterior. FYI - The iron recommended by Better Aircraft Fabric is in Celsius and the heat gun they recommend is in Fahrenheit. This is why I flip back and forth when noting the temperatures I’m using, it’s not to annoy you. That’s what the music is for.
