System I Butyrate Dope
System I is Superflite's original FAA-approved aircraft covering system.  When the company started in 1949, System I, the butyrate dope system, was THE covering system for your airplane.  At the time, it was a tautening dope system and was applied to cotton and linen.  Since that time, polyester fabric have been developed, and the Superflite dope is no longer tautening.  It still consists of a nitrate filler, silver, and a butyrate topcoat - but it's much easier to apply!  Superflite System I is perfect for a vintage or classic airplane - call us for a kit quote today!

System I Tip of the Day: To get more of a gloss out of your dope topcoat , thin the color with retarder (p/n 132).  Using the retarding thinner helps slow dow the dry time on the topcoat, allowing more product to soak into the fabric and giving it a glossier finish.
