Old Combat / Sport/ Profile carrier guy here.
Guys, getting back into hobby.  In the old days (70's /80's), flew a lot of fast and slow combat (Flite streaks, voodoos, guillotines, spectrums and such) and after going thru the silk / dope routine, settled on FASCAL after Howard Rush exposed it to us in the NYC area.
My roll of this stuff is long gone, but since I am building again, keep thinking how great that material was and would be for sport type profile planes (busters, akromasters, twisters, F51's etc)   (just like the old days).
I have built last four planes using Monokote / Ultracote and unlike most of you, not into the super finishes.
ANYBODY KNOW IF FASCAL can still be purchased and what grade or type would I buy and applicable sources? HOWARD RUSH: YOU OUT THERE?

Paul Wood:
Steve, Do a search on here for Fascal. Lot of info to be found. Might be able to find what you're looking for.

Steve Tomlinson:
Thanks, Paul
I did  a search and lots of "mentions" of Fascal, but no details on sources, availability now, etc. etc.
Hopefully HOWARD RUSH will see this.

Craig Beswick:
A Google search revealed this.
