Pilot model Bellanca Decathalon- Covering needed
I have a 1/4 scale Bellanca Decathalon from Pilot that I picked up that has some hanger rash. I cannot find the right color of yellow. Does anyone out there have some left over that I could obtain?

I had a "Pilot" Decathlon years ago, but it was a kit. Was it ever produced as an ARF? If not, there is no telling what the covering is.
Good Luck!

This was a kit. It was built by a friends' grandpa in 1986. It has been hanging in the ceiling since then. I don't think it was ever an ARF, according to some friends of mine that are familiar with these planes.

Hate to burst your bubble, Halfrack, but even if the plane were new, the yellow could be any of a dozen different brands of covering, or two dozen different colors. But if it has been hanging up for twenty years, the color has faded, making it pretty much impossible to match with new covering.
