This caught me by surprise. I was doing something with a couple of flap ribs that were surplus to my RV-3B project and I found that they were covered with a clear vinyl. Not the common blue but clear.
The only two ways I could tell it was on the parts was because on one edge, where I'd deburred it, the plastic was a bit ragged. And also because the surface felt a bit plasticy. Yes, it was on both sides of both ribs.
These flap ribs had been ordered after the kit was delivered in 2012 and I don't know when they were made.
Keep a wary eye out, friends!
